But in general, with the exception of MAPPINGS/VENDORS/MISC/SGML.TXT,
the MAPPINGS directory isn't really a place for character *name*
mappings. It's primarily a place for *code point* mappings, for
identifying U+0430 CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER A with 0xD0 in ISO 8859-5, and
0xC0 in Windows-1251, and 0xE0 in MacCyrillic, and 0xC1 in KOI8-R.
Character names in other standards, like 'acy' for U+0430, are
comparatively less important.
