(I'm told this is the right list to comment on MIME registration procedures, e.g., draft-ietf-822ext-mime-reg-03.txt). In the course of preparing the HTTP 1.1 draft, we wanted to suggest some preferred names for charsets as registered by IANA. Right now, charsets are registered with many aliases. However, for use in HTTP, all of the aliases are really cumbersome. We would like senders to preferentially send ISO-8859-1 instead of any of the other aliases for that charset. Is this a possibility? Where is the revised charset registration specification, since it isn't in reg-03? Larry
