Hi,
I a little work with encodings (Japanese, Latin(s)) and I see that 
PG use non-standard encoding names.
Why is here SJIS instead Shift-JIS, EUC_JP intead EUC-JP, 
Latin2 instead ISO-8859-2 ?
It is not good for example for applications that output data to HTML and 
needs set correct meta-tags, for this is needful maintain in application
PostgreSQL's specific names and standard names and translate between these
...
Comments?
