Official OSF/IANA charset mapping?
Does someone know if there is an authoritative specification for the
mapping between OSF and IANA charsets? Right now I have something
that derives from my own experiments, reasonable guesses, and what I
could find in secondary sources on the net.
Trouble is IIOP uses OSF characterset identifiers, and
javax.nio.charset encoders are named by the IANA charset names (as
also used in MIME); and I am using java's own encoders to do the
transformations. It seems that nowadays it is only CORBA that is
still using the OSF charset names for historical reasons.
