The standard you want is ISO 8859, which is a family of eight-bit
standards, all with good all [sic] ASCII in the 0-127 slots, new
control characters in 128-159, non-break space in 160 and "soft
hyphen" in ord('-') + 128.
As far as control characters are concerned, 8859 just states that 00/00
through 01/15 (0-31) and 07/15 through 09/15 (127-159) are non-graphic
characters not defined by the standard. To quote from ISO 8859-1: 1987
(E): "Their use is outside the scope of ISO 8859; it is specified in
other International Standards, for example ISO 646 or ISO 6429." Or has
that changed since 1987?
