    Hey Tim!

    I am not aware of anybody notable claiming CP1252 equals LATIN-1

    I am unsure of what "notable" means to you. A quick check of both iana and glibc doesn't yeild anything for LATIN-1. Both show LATIN1 as a valid alias for ISO-8859-1.

    ... because it does not.

    Agreed.

    Some software messes things like this up, but that is simply a
    software defect.

    Yes. I suggest we avoid those mess ups and a good place to start would to be giving LATIN-1 the heave-ho.

    Life is good,
    Maurice
