I think that what I call a bug is (was years back) meant as a feature  
(excerpt from mule-cmds.el):

     ("de" "German" iso-8859-1)

This is completely wrong since almost ten years! We have the € as  
currency, D-Mark is dead. Today eleven other countries have the €  
(plus Montenegro, I think): http://www.ecb.de/bc/intro/html/map.en.html.

I sent a short bug report ...

No, I can't afford it! The time of 8 bit encodings has finished. My  
OS is UTF-8 based. And I hope to die before I'll have to use a 7 or 8  
bit OS again. And if I wouldn't die naturally, I'll find some way!
