Presumably, users will switch from a _default_ encoding of Latin-1 now to a default encoding of Latin-9 later. Most people probably don't want to use Latin-1 for most things, and Latin-9 only for the Euro sign -- they want to use Latin-9 in all cases. At least that's what I would want, as a (more or less) typical German. kai -- Lisp is kinda like tpircstsoP
