Basically, it is a good idea to let users choose their favorite
charset map. But, allowing them to create their own maps seems
to be a source of confusion.
Is it difficult to let users choose a conversion from the following?
x-eucjp-unicode-0.9
x-eucjp-jisx0221-1995
x-eucjp-open-19970715-ms
x-eucjp-open-19970715-0201
x-eucjp-open-19970715-ascii
(http://www.w3.org/TR/japanese-xml/#AEN35663200)
And, from a practical point of view, I recommend
x-eucjp-open-19970715-ms, because this mapping is supported by
Mozilla (at least on Linux & Windows), and Internet Explorer.
