As far as I can tell, Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Opera do not
support the label "windows-932". The registered alias csWindows31J
is supported by Internet Explorer and Opera but not Firefox, while
the label Windows-31J is supported by Opera and Firefox but not IE.
If you also consider http://www.w3.org/Submission/japanese-xml/ I'd
say little good can come from extending the registry for the first
two of your cases.
