Right now, ispell.el has the deutsch8 dictionary which uses Latin-1
encoding. It is not possible to use this to spell-check German text
which is in Latin-9. I therefore propose an addition to
ispell-dictionary-alist along the following lines:
(add-to-list 'ispell-dictionary-alist
'("deutsch8-15"
"[a-zA-Z\304\326\334\344\366\337\374]"
"[^a-zA-Z\304\326\334\344\366\337\374]"
"[']" t
("-C" "-d" "deutsch")
"~latin1" iso-8859-15))
(I'm not sure it's a good idea to put "~latin1" there...)
What do you think?

The "latin1" is just used to select a character table from ispell's
affix files. So that's probably the best choice for now. In the long
run, somebody should update the affix files to understand latin9.

Software, like bridges, should be elegant and visually pleasing as
well as functional. Ugly constructs, designs, and languages should be
avoided like the plague.
