Speaking of which: recently I was processing a file with either TeXworks or TeXShop (depending on the mood of the day), and noticed the difference in encoding names for the line

% !TEX encoding = <encoding>

Namely, TeXShop's help mentions the valid encoding names

•  MacOSRoman
•  IsoLatin
•  IsoLatin2
•  IsoLatin5
•  IsoLatin9
•  IsoLatinGreek
•  Mac Central European Roman
•  MacJapanese
•  DOSJapanese
•  SJIS_X0213
•  EUC_JP
•  JISJapanese
•  MacKorean
•  UTF-8 Unicode
•  Standard Unicode
•  Mac Cyrillic
•  DOS Cyrillic
•  DOS Russian
•  WindowsCentralEurRoman
•  Windows Cyrillic
•  KOI8_R
•  Mac Chinese Traditional
•  Mac Chinese Simplified
•  DOS Chinese Traditional
•  DOS Chinese Simplified
•  GBK
•  GB 2312
•  GB 18030

I  couldn't find similar information in Alain's manual. The TeXworks wiki refers to the encoding pull-down menu in the Prefs

So this seems to imply the names are quite different and there are no standard names for the encodings. Is this the case? And is there somewhere an explanation of the names used by TeXworks? (I suppose if you don't know what a name means this implies you don't need the encoding anyway, but what's the name then for the widespread Windows Latin 1 aka Windows ANSI -- I imagine windows-1252, but this is far from obvious and requires some time spent on wikipedia.)

I tried to browse the sources to find a list of encodings somewhere inside, but didn't. Are the names inherited from Qt?

What's puzzling is that some of the templates in the source, for example trunk/res/resfiles/templates/Basic LaTeX documents/article.tex, seem to have been inherited from TeXShop and hence use

% !TEX encoding = UTF-8 Unicode

instead of

% !TEX encoding = UTF-8

Does this mean TeXShop's names for encodings are understood by TeXworks?
