In what sense is "Latin-1" the official name?  The IANA charset
registry has the following listing


Name: ISO_8859-1:1987                                    [RFC1345,KXS2]
MIBenum: 4
Source: ECMA registry
Alias: iso-ir-100
Alias: ISO_8859-1
Alias: ISO-8859-1 (preferred MIME name)
Alias: latin1
Alias: l1
Alias: IBM819
Alias: CP819
Alias: csISOLatin1

(See http://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets)

"Latin-1" spelling does appear in various unicode.org documents, but
not in machine readable files as far as I can tell.
