Ouups! I was certain I had sent it to the mailing-list. Thanks for
forwarding it.

Hmmm. Good question. This page
http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/latin9.html explains which chars are
different between iso-8859-1 and -15. I've already seen some slight
problems with applications (e.g. Sawfish in some help texts) that use
the acute accent instead of the apostrophe (now I get the capital Z with
caron, instead of something resembling an apostrophe). However, it is
those apps which are broken.
