Hi,

Does anybody actually use the ISO-2022-KR charset here?  Does
anybody know who's responsible for it?

I ask because of:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EUC-JP#EUC-KR

and

https://bugzilla.andrew.cmu.edu/show_bug.cgi?id=2301

Which leads me to believe that using the new KSC-5601 charset
is actually wrong.  I've also found a bunch of messages in
iso-2022-kr out there on the net, and they all seem to be
7bit transfer encoding, which doesn't match what's in the
charset file in Cyrus...

Anyway, I've rewritten it using KSX-1001 and KSX-1003 switching,
along with US-ASCII separately before the initial ESC jump code.
Now to implement EUC-KR somehow as an unholy table merger on top
of iso-2022-kr!

Does anyone see a problem with that?  Is anything actually using
KSC-5601-1992?  If so, what's it called?

Bron.
