That's because ISO-8859-15 (Latin-9) is coded internally
with latin-iso8859-15 charset, but ISO-8859-16 (Latin-10)
is coded with mule-unicode-0100-24ff charset.  I don't know a
reason for this decision.  Perhaps there are some ISO-8859-16
characters that exist only in mule-unicode-0100-24ff, and not
in any of latin-iso8859-... charsets.
