Hey Heathen!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO/IEC_8859-1 (and I quote);

  For the Unicode block also called "Latin 1", see Latin-1 Supplement
  (Unicode block). For the character encoding commonly mislabeled as
  "ISO-8859-1", see Windows-1252.

Furthermore;

  ISO-8859-1 is the IANA preferred name for this standard when
  supplemented with the C0 and C1 control codesfrom ISO/IEC 6429 (see
  below for HTML5 exception). The following other aliases are
  registered for ISO-8859-1: iso-ir-100, csISOLatin1, latin1, l1,
  IBM819, CP819.

Note that latin-1 (or LATIN-1 if you prefer) is not listed as an alias for
ISO-8859-1.  That is because it isn't.

I rest my case.

Life is good,
Maurice
