I can't find any place that lists the preferred names that the HTTP
protocol implementors prefer. And the "name" in the current registry
for many encodings is unacceptable (e.g., Japanese EUC).

How can we go about either changing the preferred name, or having more
than one preferred name (preferred for different purposes).

i'm looking in draft-ietf-822ext-*.
