I have a question of Encoding standard of

Gecko supports IBM864, but it is different of old IBM864. It is
modified to support euro sign due to requested by IBM ([1] and [2]).
Gecko also supports data:text/html;charset=ibm864,%25 0x25 -> U+066A which
is probably worse as it changes the ASCII range.
You submit encoding detail [3] in repository, but this spec seems to be
old spec of IBM864.
I think that we should use new mapping supported euro sign [4] instead
of old mapping. Or we should remove IBM code pages from spec. How do
you think?
Does that mean you want to remove the encoding from Gecko? That would work
for me. It is currently not supported by Opera either. Alternatively
mapping 0xA7 to U+20AC works for me too, but I don't want it to tinker
with the ASCII range.
