Summary:                    Streamline US-ASCII character set name
Description: 
It is a bit over the top maybe, but the standard uses the alias "ASCII" to
denote ANSI_X3.4-1968.
This is of course ok as "ASCII" is an official alias.
There are occurrences of "US ASCII", however, which is not: the real alias
IANA alias name is "US-ASCII".
Desired Action: 
- change occurrences of "US ASCII" with either "ASCII" or "US-ASCII".
- i personally would create a roff string/macro and use that everywhere
instead of ASCII or "US ASCII".
- maybe describe somewhere in the preamble where many ANSI things are
clarified that "ASCII" really means ANSI_X3.4-1968 of the IANA character
set database.
