I believe that you are referring to RFC 2047. It does not have a charset name because it is not a charset, but a TES. It's a MIME RFC, if that makes a difference:
No, Markus meant a variant of UTF-7 (it's '7' not '8' in case somebody thinks I'm making a typo) used by IMAP for mailbox names. See
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2060.html
It doesn't have a MIME charset designation because it's not supposed to be used for 'message' exchange (mail or text/*).
