Do we need to distinguish between FT_ASCII and FT_ISO_8859, given that
all the 8859 character sets are supersets of ASCII?  We might want to
distinguish between different 8859 character sets, assuming that the
dissector can figure out which character set it is (one of the 8859
character sets, some PC code page, one of the Windows extensions of one
of the 8859 character sets, the Mac character set, etc.).
