Re: windows-874 new registration

[Ira McDonald <blueroofmusic@gmail.com>]

Hi Shawn,

RFC 2978 says the following on page 6:

"3.2.  Charset Reviewer

   When the two week period has passed and the registration proposer is
   convinced that consensus has been achieved, the registration
   application should be submitted to IANA and the charset reviewer.
   The charset reviewer, who is appointed by the IETF Applications Area
   Director(s), either approves the request for registration or rejects
   it.  Rejection may occur because of significant objections raised on
   the list or objections raised externally.  If the charset reviewer
   considers the registration sufficiently important and controversial,
   a last call for comments may be issued to the full IETF.  The charset
   reviewer may also recommend standards track processing (before or
   after registration) when that appears appropriate and the level of
   specification of the charset is adequate.

   The charset reviewer must reach a decision and post it to the ietf-
   charsets mailing list within two weeks.  Decisions made by the
   reviewer may be appealed to the IESG."

Send the IANA copy via the form at:

  http://www.iana.org/protocols/apply/

(choose the last option "All other assignments")

The IANA Protocol Registries at:

  http://www.iana.org/protocols/apply/

says that Ned Freed is primary expert and Martin Duerst is
secondary expert for the IANA Character Sets registry.

Cheers,

Subject: windows-874 new registration

Windows-874 is in use by several groups, but it hasn't been registered yet, so I'd like to submit it for review:  The form is similar to the 1252 request we discussed last year.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Charset name: windows-874

Charset aliases: (None)

Suitability for use in MIME text:

 Yes, windows-874 is suitable for use with subtypes of the "text"
 Content-Type. Note that windows-874 is an 8-bit charset. Care should
 be taken to choose an appropriate Content-Transfer-Encoding.

Published specification(s):

 1) http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/sbcs/874.htm

ISO 10646 equivalency table:

 http://www.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/VENDORS/MICSFT/WINDOWS/CP874.TXT

Additional information:

 UTF-8 is preferred to windows-874 for Thai, when permissible.

 Although not authoritative, the following references may also be of
 interest:

 Microsoft windows extended "best fit" behavior:
 http://www.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/VENDORS/MICSFT/WindowsBestFit/bestfit874.txt

 This is a request for a new registration of this charset. This
 charset name is in use.

 This charset is also known as Windows Code Page 874, DOS-874,
 or cp874 for short; these are NOT aliases.
