IANA name vs MIME name 

The file contains IANA and MIME names for ICU converters. For many converters,
they're identical. But for some, MIME names are certainly better and I don't
see any opposite case.

In addition to Extended_...Unix_..Japanese vs EUC-JP, 

ISO-8859-X has 'year' appended in IANA names but MIME names do not have that.
Obviously, we want just ISO-8859-X rather than ISO-8859-X:YYYY

And, the IANA name for US-ASCII is ANSI_X3.4-1968. I don't think you like that
better than US-ASCII. 

For some cases, MIME names are missing (windows-12xx) , which is why I proposed
trying MIME name first and then falling back to IANA names.

Also note that ICU encoding detector returns MIME names (i.e. EUC-JP rather
than Extended_Unix...Japanese, ISO-8859-x rather than ISO-8859-x:yyyy). In case
they're not available IANA names - for windows-12xx).  My latest patch
(uploaded today) for bug 16482  assumes that we do what I proposed here.
