The current CVS version and the pretest of Emacs 21.2 do support the above.

See Stefan's response: the default is not Latin-1, and Emacs should interpret your keyboard input correctly even without keyboard-coding-system being set. If that doesn't work, please tell the details; perhaps there's some bug. > P.S. Should I cc you when replying?
