The vast majority of character inputs are embedded in self-modifying tries, Tries what? ie, East Asian phonetic input for Han ideographs in complex system-wide servers. I don't see how you plan to get this information out of SCIM/Anthy, for example, or Xlib/XIM for Greek for that matter. What are SCIM/Anthy and Xlib/XIM? Maybe they are input methods outside Emacs. I agree they might be difficult. Surely we can easily handle all of Emacs's own input methods.
