RE: Registration of some code pages

[Shawn Steele <Shawn.Steele@microsoft.com>]

Yes, I think there are about 4 or 5 of these that aren't handled by the windows-1252 type code pages.

I suppose an alternative would be to annotate the Big5, etc. entries to note that some applications use CP950, etc. instead.  (I'm using the generic word "applications" here because it isn't specific to the web, or email, but could be many applications.  Additionally it isn't only a single vendor as other vendors seeking parity also sometimes do the same thing).

Yes, Big5 vs. CP950 should be the problem.
This is also the problem what is the encoding which people call it as "big5".

Another problem is EUC-KR vs. CP949
http://wiki.whatwg.org/wiki/Web_Encodings says:
* EUC-KR is CP51949
* ks_c_5601-1987 is CP949
but HTML5 says EUC-KR is CP949
