Follow-up Comment #6, bug #50357 (project gettext):
> name matching is standardised in various places; for example in UTR #22
No, name matching is not standardised. Different charset conversion libraries
have different ways of doing it. The UTR #22 probably describes the way ICU
does it, but ICU is != glibc, != libiconv, != Windows, != Solaris, etc.
Additionally, the problem with this specification is that it's not
future-proof: If before, you have interpreted ISO-8859-1-5 as being equivalent
to ISO-8859-15, it will break once an encoding ISO-8859-1-5 is really
introduced. The text even states that this has already happened (for
ISO-IR-9-1 and ISO-IR-9-2).
