ISO-2022-JP-2 tries to encode Japanese, Chinese(simplified, tranditional)
and Korean coded character sets for mail exchange. As an framework for
encoding multiple coded character sets with swtich,escape sequence, etc,
ISO-2022 should be able to encode all the registered (with ISO registry)
charater sets. Of course, I'm not saying that tedious and stateful
ISO-2022 should be used in place of Unicode/ISO 10646.
