If you were sure ISO-8859-16 == LATIN10, I could add it.

Ok, here is the modified encoding table (column1 is the standard name,
2 is our "official" name, and 3 is alias). If there's no objection, I
will change them.

ASCII SQL_ASCII
UTF-8 UNICODE UTF_8
MULE-INTERNAL MULE_INTERNAL
ISO-8859-1 LATIN1 ISO_8859_1
ISO-8859-2 LATIN2 ISO_8859_2
ISO-8859-3 LATIN3 ISO_8859_3
ISO-8859-4 LATIN4 ISO_8859_4
ISO-8859-5 ISO_8859_5
ISO-8859-6 ISO_8859_6
ISO-8859-7 ISO_8859_7
ISO-8859-8 ISO_8859_8
ISO-8859-9 LATIN5 ISO_8859_9
ISO-8859-10 LATIN6 ISO_8859_10
ISO-8859-13 LATIN7 ISO_8859_13
ISO-8859-14 LATIN8 ISO_8859_14
ISO-8859-15 LATIN9 ISO_8859_15
ISO-8859-16 LATIN10 ISO_8859_16
