But we had the very attractive suggestion that C-x 8 should invoke an alternate input method, with the user selecting which input method. (The default might be latin-1-prefix.) I don't see how these ideas could fit together with that idea. Are you suggesting that C-x 8 should systematically modify whichever input method is selected, by adding new sequences based on reordering the sequences of that input method?
