List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Xref: main.gmane.org gmane.emacs.devel:3621 X-Report-Spam: http://spam.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.devel:3621 There are characters in Latin-1 that are missing from Latin-9, and vice versa. If there is only one input method, what should it do with these characters? Perhaps it could have a list of pairs of characters, each Latin-1-only character paired with one Latin-9-only character. Then there would be a sequence for each pair. When you type this sequence and the flag is set to Latin-1, you would get the Latin-1 character. When the flag is set to Latin-9, you would get the Latin-9 character.
