Since the aliases can live in an aliases file, I don't see that it's a
big deal to add them all, and it will really help in dealing with
Internet protocols correctly.  It is valid to put 'ANSI_X3.4-1968' in
as a charset value when sending something.  I'd like my Python app to
be able to cope with that possibility.
