I think that we should distinguish between user-visible
language-related input methods, and the quail mechanism being
available to minor modes internally.
The relation is similar between major and minor buffer modes: while
you usually don't have more than one major mode active, minor modes
are on _top_ of that, and often multiple such modes make sense.
