And because certain companies had (and still have) bugs in their comms products, incorrectly identifying CP1252 data as ISO 8859-1, ISO standards should reject ISO-2022 and populate C1 with graphic characters?

I suppose other inconsiderate incompatibilities such as the incorrect encoding of half-pitch kana in ISO-2022-JP is the fault of ISO too?

Perhaps those companies that have these major bugs in their software, all of which have been repeatedly pointed out, should fix the probems there. The rest of the industry bends over backwards to accomodate these corrupt data, so a little effort on the part of the guilty would help a lot, and might prevent misguided postings like the above.
