I made request to OpenGroup list about codeset part standartized or not. Here is reply indicating that X11 codeset registry is not maintained anymore, so we can't use their names in any cases. There is nothing in reply about OpenGroup's own codeset registry. ----- Forwarded message from Bruno Haible <haible@clisp.cons.org> ----- Date: Fri, 18 May 2001 17:33:05 +0200 (CEST) From: Bruno Haible <haible@clisp.cons.org> Subject: Re: Is codeset locale part standartized by OpenGroup?

There is IANA > charsets list, but it is rarely used for codeset in implementations, The GNU system uses the IANA names, and among those, the preferred MIME name if available. Some OSes (AIX, IRIX, Tru64, Solaris) use the X11 names in some cases and proprietary names in other cases. Note the X11 name registry stopped being maintained a few years ago. Some OSes (HP-UX) use their own names, neither IANA nor X11 names. And FreeBSD/NetBSD/OpenBSD don't even implement nl_langinfo(CODESET). Bruno ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Andrey A.
