In the >face of a "real" standard, a de facto standard doesn't count. What do you mean by "real"? KOI8-R has two references now, they are RFC 1489 (description) and RFC 1700 (registration as valid MIME charset name). Is it enough for "real"? If you mean only ISO by "real", why you refer RFC 822? -- Andrey A.
