Ah!
A coding-category of a coding-system is automatically
determined by :coding-type arg (and by some other arg
depending on :coding-type) of define-coding-system. And
iso-8859-x and windows-12xx are exactly the same in this
aspect; i.e. both :coding-type is `charset' which means the
coding system is for decoding/encoding charsets in
:charset-list.
Perhaps it is good to add one more coding-category
`charset8' to which such coding-systems that handle a single
byte charset containing many 0x80..0x9F area code are
classified.

Do you mean such coding-systems as vietnamese-tcvn and
vietnamese-viscii? Although their 0x00-0x1F are not the
same as ASCII, yes, they can be classified into `charset8'
category.
