True.  You _can_ still enter many accented latin1-specific characters
with the option key even if option is bound to meta.  For instance I
can use opt-u in the usual mac way to enter ü, ö etc.  In fact I just
did.  But as you say, you can't get at everything this way, for
instance I can't use opt-s to enter ß (I did insert-ss to enter that
one).
