I can write the string, but indeed, if I do it, it means 'Windows-1252'.

Olaf, from what you write it's not totally clear that you realize that
ISO-8859-1 is a proper subset of Windows-1252?
So the only difference would be the ability to diagnose problems in
documents that claim to be ISO-8859-1, but actually use C1 control codes.
That being said, I do agree with Larry that the spec should phrase it
differently.
