Just for the record: The correct way to spell an ISO standard is to
have a space between ISO and its number. Correct: ISO 8859-1.

Other spellings such as ISO-8859-1 or ISO_8859-1 are merely
workarounds for situations, where spaces are inconvenient.
That's why MIME uses ISO-8859-1. In documentation, if you refer
to the encoding, not its MIME name, please write ISO 8859-1.
