Okay, but we need a new name for the Greek encoding: LGR is not a proper name. Currently there are two basic Greek encodings ISO-8859-7 and Windows-1253 (their only difference is the slot reserved for Capital Alpha with tonos) and so I believe one file can be used for both encodings. So who will ``allocate'' the new encoding name?

Thatis true. However, I wrote such encoding files for = the Greek language
support of ConTeXt and so I will create the necessary = files for LaTeX.

Okay, but we need a new name for the Greek encoding: = LGR is not a proper
name. Currently there are two basic Greek encodings = ISO-8859-7 and
Windows-1253 (their only difference is the slot = reserved for Capital
Alpha with tonos) and so I believe one file can be = used for both
encodings. So who will ``allocate'' the new encoding = name?
