There already exists such a mailing list

	charset@necom830.cc.titech.ac.jp

Urrrr, wait a moment. As ISO10646/Unicode is not a character set of this
ML, we shouldn't register such encoding as

	charset=iso-10646-utf2

But, assuming that the only language dependence of Unicode is to Devanagari
and to Han, we might be able to register

	charset=iso-10646-sanskrit-japanese-utf2

or

	charset=iso-10646-hindi-chinese-utf2
