Hello, I proposed SCSU (as described in UTR 6) for registration as a charset with IANA (as "SCSU" with no aliases). Good news: it was approved on 2000-jul-19. Bad news: The publication of IANA registrations is currently being redesigned and re-staffed, therefore nothing has been and will be published in a while. This affects such charsets as Windows-1252 that have been approved half a year ago as well. So there. I guess we can use this now. Note, in case you would use that, that before there is a publication by IANA there is no "MIBenum" number. markus PS: The ietf-charsets mailing list archive is at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/ietf-charsets/ . For a discussion of this situation, see entries from yesterday and today.
