But, how do you apply that understanding to this element:

The current behaviour of standard-display-8bit is the
natural consequence of the fact that we changed character
codes. But, perhaps we should explain what "literally"
really means.

Yes. That's why I wrote:

I have not yet got any response but have started the work.

The docstring of standard-display-european says it's
semi-obsolete. But, as far as we provide that function, we
should modify the current code to do what expected.
