Excuse me, but that is not appropriate. The ISO/IEC 8859 series is
conformant with ISO/IEC 2022, and protocols which adhere to that standard
should not be compromised by what you suggest.

The problem is that some companies do/did not correctly identify their code
pages. The world can live with Latin-1 and CP-1252. It shouldn't have to
live with CP-1252 being identified as Latin-1.
