Encoding name problems when running Jigsaw with ORP plus Classpat h

This is the third of the series.

The encoding name convention is different between Classpath and standards. For 
instance, ISO-8859-1 appears in Classpath like "8859_1", I wonder why Classpath 
does this way, because "8859_1" even didn't appear in IANA's official names of 
character set (http://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets) and J2SE 
documentations (e.g, 
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/api/java/lang/package-summary.html). While 
Classpath uses these names to locate decoder classes, a mapping should be done 
somewhere. Classpath provides a alias mechanism to use System.properties to do 
the mapping. But who will insert these properties? 
Any guys have ideas about this?
