Well, I agree and disagree.  I certainly think of iso8859-1, so
separating registry and encoding is silly (I'm not sure about whether
it's silly in general; I just don't know).  

But I *do* think it's handy to be able to filter specifically for
fonts in iso8859-1: I do this all the time in xfontsel.  Maybe I'm
just weird, though.
