** Observed with 7/12/2000 Win32 build **

In Edit | Prefs | Languages | Character Coding list,
we currently see both:

1. static list of charsets
2. Cached charsets

We should not include item #2 on this list. If you have just the 
Western Charset and then a cached item, e.g. KOI8-R, and if you 
choose KOI8-R, then the next time you start Mozilla and look
in the default charset pref, you won't see KOI8-R because
currently the cache list is not saved from session to session.

Aside from this, it is simply not correct to show cached list
items here. We want a (semi-)permanent list. Otherwise
users would be confused.

We have not had an explicit discussion of this yet but I think 
it would be better to show the entir echarset list here
rather than the limited "static" list. This last point may be
debatable and so let's hear some opinions.

The work for this bug can be splitted in two:
1) Create an RDF data source branch holding all the decoders
2) Use that data source in XUL dialogs
Whiteboard: [nsbeta3+] → [nsbeta3+] ETA:9/7
2) is easy simply change 

The value of rdf in
http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/xpfe/components/prefwindow/resources/con
tent/pref-languages.xul
82       <menulist id="DefaultCharsetList" ref="NC:MaileditCharsetMenuRoot" 
datasources="rdf:charset-menu"
 
from "NC:MaileditCharsetMenuRoot" to the new RDF root value that you creat


Failed to check in yesterday, sorry. I am almost done, I need review and then 
I'll check in today.
Frank, you're right. But I wonder if there would be any other place where we 
could use this new RDF datasource branch?
And all is done and checked in.
