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,
- Ira (editor of original IANA Charset MIB, RFC 3808)

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.

�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
