Well, not necessarily, since I can just try to
construct JDK-based decoder (as InputStreamReader)
with the given encoding. However:

Yes. I do check for some of aliases (from the
linked-to IANA page).

Those I defer to JDK. ;-)

But any encodings Woodstox natively supports, I do use
loose comparison, which essentially strips out
non-alphanum characters (spaces, dashes, underscores),
and does case-insensitive comparison. So cp-1250 and
cp1250 are considered equivalent.
