Subject: xerces supported encodings, why not aliases
Hi.
I really like xerces. But I have just become aware of a big issue I have
with it. It supports a lot of encodings.. but it supports none of the
IANA alias for them.
Was this done on purpose, if so what purpose? Is there any way we could
add support for these aliases? I would be overjoyed with latin1 support,
in Xerces 1.3
for example. Xerces of course supports "ISO-8859-1", but it does not
support "latin1". They are the same encoding, but IANA has "latin1"
defined as a valid alias for it, xerces of course throws an Unsupported
Encoding Exception.. sad.
A list of iana encodings are at:
http://www.isi.edu/in-notes/iana/assignments/character-sets
just getting the ball rolling..
