Hmmm, not to get into any religious differences between
"encodings" and "character sets", but I believe the document
you cite is either incomplete or inconsistent.  For example,
"ISO_8859-1:1987" has an alias "latin1" (lowercase "L"!),
whereas "ISO-8859-15" has an alias "Latin-9" (with hyphen).
Anyhow, the "Latin alphabet No. 1" defined by "ISO/IEC 8859-1"
is often called "Latin-1" or "Latin 1" for short (but the term
is probably inofficial), and even unicode calls "ISO/IEC 8859-1"
"Latin-1".
