I have no idea about the status of your code, but I just would like to mention, that I don't think it's a good idea at this point to introduce yet-another-latin-N charset. I think it should be implemented as a coding-system only. I.e. like mac-roman rather than like latin-9. Of course, that's only possible if all the chars can already be represented in some other charset (typically a mixture of latin-1, mule-unicode-NNNN-MMMM) and I have no idea whether that's the case or not.
