If you were sure ISO-8859-16 == LATIN10, I could add it.

Ok, here is the modified encoding table (column1 is the standard name,
2 is our "official" name, and 3 is alias). If there's no objection, I
will change them.

ASCII        SQL_ASCII
UTF-8        UNICODE        UTF_8
MULE-INTERNAL    MULE_INTERNAL
ISO-8859-1    LATIN1        ISO_8859_1
ISO-8859-2    LATIN2        ISO_8859_2
ISO-8859-3    LATIN3        ISO_8859_3
ISO-8859-4    LATIN4        ISO_8859_4
ISO-8859-5    ISO_8859_5
ISO-8859-6    ISO_8859_6
ISO-8859-7    ISO_8859_7
ISO-8859-8    ISO_8859_8
ISO-8859-9    LATIN5        ISO_8859_9
ISO-8859-10    LATIN6        ISO_8859_10
ISO-8859-13    LATIN7        ISO_8859_13
ISO-8859-14    LATIN8        ISO_8859_14
ISO-8859-15    LATIN9        ISO_8859_15
ISO-8859-16    LATIN10        ISO_8859_16
