I think that is less important than DTRT, but I'm not against it.

                                        In IANA

Why should that be relevant?

    So maybe display a message "This is not the real coding system name, use
    `utf-8'" and also don't offer utf8 for completion?  Would that be
    sufficient?

I have nothing against that.
