Bruno Haible once argued that we should stick to IANA encoding names rather than follow Emacs’ lead in defining new names: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guile-devel/2009-11/msg00053.html >From a practical viewpoint, though, it may make sense to allow more Emacs encoding names in ‘coding:’ cookies, since these are an Emacs thing anyway. So, ‘file-encoding’ could be taught more encoding names than ‘set-port-encoding!’ (and it could be written in Scheme, too.) WDYT? Thanks, Ludo’.
