Yes, it might be desirable to share some of the mappings, especially among those variants. But as I suggested at the very beginning of the project, the priority for now is to move all the charsets to the new mapping based/build-time generated implementation, then it opens the door for new optimization, any improvement on those base classes and the "generator" tools (to share the mapping, for example) will be shared by all the sub-classes/classes. While it might be ideal to achieve all the goals at one shot, our resource restrict really does not allow me to spend most of my time on it (mapping re-generate really takes time and I have to test from various angles to make sure it does not break anything and not miss any corner case). This is more like a side-project (sure I do have a JEP for it but...) for now and I just found two "spare" weeks to push these two RFEs out. I might have more time on charsets later around the end development stage of JDK8.
I totally agree, thanks. Hopefully I will have more time then. Sorry for the double-posting. The 2nd one has correct email for the list + one more text line. -Ulf
