I think you are over-simpilify this problem. ;-( Most CJK characters are not encoded in either Big5 or GB or JIS or KSC, that's why the GB coding standard change from gb2312 to gbk then to gb18030. AFAIK, most chinese characters also cannot be coded within mule, and exists unicode support does not solve this problem. Of course, emacs is enough for most people in most time, but I am really hesitated to tell my friend once and once again "Sorry, but your name (ÓðÖÐ) is not supported by my emacs." -- The goal of science is to build better mousetraps.
