Am I missing something? Is that the difference between Latin-1 and Latin-9? I suspect that most of us use Latin-1 out of habit. Those of us who prefer postfix have no choice. There is a Latin-9-Prefix, but no Latin-9-Postfix. If the solution is going to be "Stop using Latin-1 and use Latin-9", we need to provide Latin-9 equivalents for all the Latin-1 input methods. Moreover, we should implement that advice to change to Latin-9 in the country-specific input methods, such as French-Prefix and French-Postfix.
