java encoding charset suggestion

[Helio Frota]

Hi Martin,

Is not interesting to favor one country or language. I read some documents
including the link you shared ( opengroup ).

Only one thing i found is the python language that try to found defined
values on others variables.
http://docs.python.org/2/library/locale.html

But after absorbing more information, I agree that would be chaos breaking
compatibility.

Thanks for reply ! I learned more things today.
