This is a matter of what is convenient for users of Emacs. > It has nothing to do with anyone's "authority". For user's convenience, we currently have two choices; adding alias "utf8", or improving coding-system completion (as proposed by "Stephen J. Turnbull" ). To decide which way is better, whether "utf8" is an authorized name or not can be a good guide. If it's an authorized name, adding alias is good, if not, solving by more intelligent completion is good. --- Kenichi Handa handa@ni.aist.go.jp
