Hello, experts! I'm sorry if you receive this message for a second
time - I am not sure if it reached [EMAIL PROTECTED] at my
previous attempt.

I certainly think that the names like 'JIS 0201'
are embarrassing.
Here's rfc1345
&charset JIS_X0201
&alias X0201
...8-bit, JIS-Roman (0xA1-0x7E) + JIS-Katakana (0xA1-0xFE)
&charset JIS_C6226-1983
&alias iso-ir-87
&bits 16
&alias x0208
&alias JIS_X0208-1983
&charset JIS_X0212-1990
&alias x0212
&alias iso-ir-159
&bits 16
here's IANA registry
Name: JIS_X0201 [RFC1345,KXS2]
MIBenum: 15
Source: JIS X 0201-1976. One byte only, this is equivalent to
JIS/Roman (similar to ASCII) plus eight-bit half-width
Katakana
Alias: X0201
Name: JIS_C6226-1983 [RFC1345,KXS2]
Alias: iso-ir-87
Alias: x0208
Alias: JIS_X0208-1983
Name: JIS_X0212-1990 [RFC1345,KXS2]
MIBenum: 98
Alias: x0212
Alias: iso-ir-159
Are
JIS_X0201 / X0201 /
JIS_C6226-1983 / X0208 /
JIS_X0212 / X0212
better candidates?

P.S. I have also seen JIS_X0201 referred to as
JIS X 0201-1976
JIS X 0201 Katakana/JIS X 0201 Roman
JISX0201.
P.P.S. (currently
JIS 0201/JIS 0208/JIS 0212 do not seem to work for me:
perl15173 -MEncode -MEncode::JP -we "print Encode::decode('JIS 0210','aaa')"
gives me Unknown encoding 'JIS 210' at -e line 1, only
Encode::encode('JIS0201','aaa') behaves okay..
and if they are not working, we're free to change the names for anything
we like ;-)
- Best regards, Anton
