The RFC does say that ISO-8859 is prefered over ISO 646:
Note that the ISO 646 character sets have deliberately been omitted
in favor of their 8859 replacements, which are the designated
character sets for Internet mail.

I agree with that. I don't see _any_ reason to use latin-9 if you
don't need it. Some MUA's don't support latin-9 (including older
versions of Gnus) -- why break those clients for no good reason?
