Yes, and that would create yet another set of charsets which are largely identical to the corresponding Latin-N charsets. Given the bloody mess we have with Latin-N charsets that have only a few identical codepoints, I'm glad I've made the design decision to treat cpNNN as encodings, not as charsets. Look how many people complain here about the Latin-1 vs Latin-9 discrepancy.
