  you can define encoding aliases at the library level, yes
    http://xmlsoft.org/html/libxml-encoding.html#xmlAddEncodingAlias

in general iconv has a fairly extensive list of encoding supported and
and even longuer set of aliases (assuming you have a recent system and
libraries), and on my Linux system there is around 20 names for greek
encodings and aliases.
