I am unsure if "8-bit ASCII" is a well-defined term. "ASCII" implies
X3.4-1986 and the 7-bit ASCII code. It was my intention for ISO/IEC 8859-1
to be the 8-bit ASCII standard. When the US adopted ISO 8859-1 as a US
standard (ANSI/ISO 8859-1), as editor I asked ANSI to add "(8-bit ASCII)" to
the end of the title. I never purchased a copy to see if ANSI did this.

I would question that. Understandable, yes, but not really correct.
