...RFC 1345 is a non-maintained, historic informational RFC that's nit really a good definition for ASCII. If you disagree, please name a single RFC that has been published in the last 20 years that uses RFC 1345 to reference ASCII (I just searched, and couldn't find any).I used "ANSI_X3.4-1968" because that's the canonical name for US-ASCII, and I used RFC1345 because that's the canonical reference. If you disagree with these choices, please update the IANA registry....
The issue with the registry is orthogonal. Anyway, this will come up again if this becomes a Working Group document. Best regards, Julian
