Problem is that il2 and ISO-8859-2 differs in next chars presented in il2:
dec   ISO          CS
184   cedilla      \`a
254   tcedilla     dblleftquote
255   dot above    dblrightquote

...

After some quotes (e.g. Adams'

 > "The Polish prefer it more upright. The Czechs prefer it more flat."

) I feel stronger and stronger that csr should coexist with lm for 
future. Perhaps like a option (not present in minimal distr?), but with 
full functionality if extra loaded.

So I would like il2 will be preserved as it is and new coding according 
to lm (ISO-8859-2 ?) would be introduce (enco-l2 ?).
