Huh, I don't see "big5", just the latter:
2 lines matching "big" in buffer *Help*.
30:152(98) chinese-big5-1 98 XX XX 2 94 0
31:153(99) chinese-big5-2 99 XX XX 2 94 1

oh, I see this hasn't been added yet. OK, but you must somehow
separate the two flavors of output makers in the list...

Oh, I'm still using emacs-version"21.2.1" so I don't see that I guess.
