Sure seems that way to me.  You said:

But if you've relaxed about that, fine.

No.  _None_ of those are indexed in the build I reported on.  Perhaps you are
seeing them now because Lars added them in response to this bug report?  As I
said earlier, and to which Lars agreed:

> L> Some of these were already in the index,

D> I don't see any of them.  `i' followed by a prefix of any of 
D> those names shows [No match]...  And searching each of the

> The following is _not_ a description:
>   For example, the coding system @code{iso-latin-1} has
>   variants @code{iso-latin-1-unix}...

I agree about that.  The same cannot be said however for the case I cited:

D> We say what the undecided-* coding systems do wrt end-of-line
D> conversion, and we mention their aliases.
