[Webkit-unassigned] [Bug 179307] WebKit treats Big5-HKSCS as a distinct encoding from Big5, Encoding standard says it's the same

--- Comment #6 from Maciej Stachowiak <mjs at apple.com> ---
Based on http://w3c-test.org/encoding/big5-encoder.html , it doesn't look like either Big5 or Big5_HKSCS encodings from ICU quite match what the Encoding standard requires, and their failures are not the same either, so merging down to one of the two is bound to cause bugs. We might need a custom Big5 codec.

ICU seems to support several apparent Big5 variants:
ibm-1373_P100-2002
windows-950-2000
ibm-950_P110-1999
ibm-1375_P100-2008
ibm-5471_P100-2006

I'm not sure if any of these are the proper web variant.
