Because, as far as I know, that is the only authority
registering coding system names comprehensively (even though
they mix them with character set names).
So what? This is a matter of what is convenient for users of Emacs.
It has nothing to do with anyone's "authority".
In GNU, we do not obey standards. We take account of them
in order to figure out what is The Right Thing. The fact that
a certain name has no meaning according to some standard
means the standard offers no obstacle to whatever we want to do.
