java.lang.String name = cs.name();

cs.name() return "x-EUC-CN", it's not preferred MIME name, but "GB2312" is preferred MIME name. name() method should return "GB2312" in this case.

EVALUATION This a reasonable request. It seems there was an oversight when originally assigning the canonical name for the Sun bundled "EUC-CN" charset. GB2312 is defined within the IANA registry as a CCS/CES combination so it is more appropriate to use "GB2312" as the canonical name as opposed to the current one "x-EUC-CN" which implies that the charset is not recognized or registered by IANA. Will address for 1.5 beta. x-EUC-CN in addition to EUC_CN , EUC-CN will be retained as compatibility aliases for this charset. ###@###.### 2003-10-14
