IANA == Internet Assigned Numbers Authority
They manage all the numbers and constants used in the Internet protocols.
Like the officially assigned MIME types, IP packet types, etc.
The comment is somewhat incorrect, by the way, because the following
legal content type header (one of the most common ones!)
Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii
includes an IANA character encoding name which is not supported by
the JDK: "us-ascii". Bletch.
