I don't follow the details of this discussion, but I wonder how
important AUTO really is?  It seems to me that a sweet setup uses
utf-8 in the buffer but exports latin-1 to LaTeX through use of entities
and filters (with the new exporter).  This can yield a buffer display
that isn't complicated by all the LaTeX machinery, and export something
that is maximally compatible in the LaTeX world.  It is nice on the eyes
and avoids encoding incompatibilities on the back-end.

All the best,
Tom
