The ‘0xEE’ value is said to signify "an Eastern European character set". There is no such thing. First, "Eastern Europe" is not unambiguously delineated. Second, this region uses many character scripts, including Roman, Cyrillic, Arabic, Armenian, etc.
Explain what is meant by, "an Eastern European character set".

Proposed Disposition of DIS 29500 Comment FR-0417 (Modified: 2008-01-03) Agreed; all of the values here require additional description. Although IS 14496-22:2007 defines each of the values used here, one of the comments also suggests that using the name of the corresponding IANA character set would be preferable for interoperability with other document interchange standards. Accordingly, the following changes will be made to improve the interoperability of all items in this list: In Part 4, §2.8.2.2, page 739, line 11: Value Description 0×00 Specifies the ANSI character set. (IANA name iso-8859-1) 0×01 Specifies the default character set. 0×02 Specifies the Symbol character set. This value specifies that the characters in the Unicode private use area (U+FF00 to U+FFFF) of the font should be used to display characters in the range U+0000 to U+00FF. 0×4D Specifies a Macintosh (Standard Roman) character set. (IANA name macintosh) 0×80 Specifies the JIS character set. (IANA name shift_jis) 0×81 Specifies the Hangul character set. (IANA name ks_c_5601-1987) 0×82 Specifies a Johab character set. (IANA name KS C-5601-1992) 0×86 Specifies the GB-2312 character set. (IANA name GBK) 0×88 Specifies the Chinese Big Five character set. (IANA name Big5) 0xA1 Specifies a Greek character set. (IANA name windows-1253) 0xA2 Specifies a Turkish character set. (IANA name iso-8859-9) 0xA3 Specifies a Vietnamese character set. (IANA name windows-1258) 0xB1 Specifies a Hebrew character set. (IANA name windows-1255) 0xB2 Specifies an Arabic character set. (IANA name windows-1256) 0xBA Specifies a Baltic character set. (IANA name windows-1257) 0xCC Specifies a Russian character set. (IANA name windows-1251) 0xDE Specifies a Thai character set. (IANA name windows-874) 0xEE Specifies an Eastern European character set. (IANA name windows- 1250) Value Description 0xFF Specifies an OEM character set not defined by this Office Open XML Standard. Any other value Application-defined, may be ignored. In Part 4, §2.8.2.2, page 740, attribute table: characterSet (IANA Name of Character Set) Name of the character set associated with the font. The values allowed by this attribute are defined by the names and aliases listed in the IANA registration table (IANA n.d.). If this value is specified, the value of the val attribute is ignored. The possible values for this attribute are defined by the XML Schema string datatype. To the normative references: IANA. CHARACTER SETS. http://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets. Finally, the val attribute will be deprecated. Accordingly, we will remove it from its current location in the specification (Part 4, §2.8.2.2, page 740, attribute table), and place it into a new annex for deprecated features. Following the precedent set by other ISO standards (such as SQL’s ISO 9075:2003 Part 1 and C++’s ISO/IEC 14882:1998), we will make use of a new Annex that contains normative descriptions of all deprecated features. The intent of this Annex is to enable a transitional period during which existing binary documents being migrated to DIS 29500 can make use of those deprecated features to preserve their fidelity, while noting that new documents should not use them. Accordingly, the Conformance clause will also be changed to state that newly created documents (those not created by migrating existing binary documents) should not use deprecated features. All deprecated features will be removed from their current locations in the standard, but will be fully defined in this new Annex.
