It sounds like we might
slide through with "SJIS" for Shift-JIS, even though it's not in the
MIME standard; but for EUC-JIS, Solaris 7 has the name "eucJP", glibc
2.0.108 has "EUC-JP", and MIME has the aliases "EUC-JP",
"csEUCPkdFmtJapanese", and
"Extended_UNIX_Code_Packed_Format_for_Japanese";
At worst, we may have to pick one of them.
so no single name
will do in practice for EUC-JIS.
Any one of them will do in practice--we just have to document which
one to use. Or we could support all three of them, as equivalent
aliases.
