Description

I propose the following new interface CharacterEncodingNames. I've stored a
proposal in CVS to "record" it. Even if we nuke it, it will be in the "Attic".

In short:

/**

• Character encoding names required of every implementation of the Java platform.
• According to the Java documentation <a
  *
  href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/api/java/lang/package-summary.html#charenc">JRE
  character encoding names</a>:
• <p>
• <cite>Every implementation of the Java platform is required to support the
  following character encodings. Consult the
• release documentation for your implementation to see if any other encodings
  are supported. </cite>
• </p>
• @see <a
