Yeah, it may not be apparent that the "-cp-" in the middle stands for
"codepage" and can be dropped without losing information. Just an
indication that the chosen name is derived from "ebcdic-cp-us" (and
possibly noting that it refers to IBM037) would be enough, I think.

This is great!<br>
<br>
But I want to know where the name &#39;EBCDIC-US&#39; came from.<br>
<br>
I guess this is the encoding that is named as &#39;IBM037&#39; by IANA,<br>
and it&#39;s aliases are &#39;ebcdic-cp-us&#39; and so on.<br>
<br>
I&#39;n not against for &#39;EBCDIC-US&#39;.<br>
But, if we use this as the real name, we should explain the reason.<br>
