The cpXXX encodings you listed above are for DOS only, so it is okay to call them cp*. > Note (*): IANA doesn't lists cpXXXX. It lists only cpXXXs > as an alias of IBMXXXs.

That's because DOS never pretended to be a net-connected platform, so it was unimportant to say what encoding you worked in, since your machine was stand-alone anyway.
