Ah. I just saw
BASESET "ISO 646:1983//CHARSET
International Reference Version
(IRV)//ESC 2/5 4/0"
BASESET "ISO Registration Number 100//CHARSET
ECMA-94 Right Part of
Latin Alphabet Nr. 1//ESC 2/13 4/1"
in HTML3.2 and
BASESET "ISO Registration Number 177//CHARSET
ISO/IEC 10646-1:1993 UCS-4 with
implementation level 3//ESC 2/5 2/15 4/6"
in HTML4.01 SGML declarations and assumed the first one (ISO-646) was
ANSI, the second one (ECMA-94) was the extended 8-bit characters
(latin-1) and the third one (ISO-10646) was Unicode. This assumption
was wrong?
