Problems, fixmes and other issues in the emacs-unicode branch
-------------------------------------------------------------

Notes by fx to record various things of variable importance.  handa
needs to check them -- don't take too seriously, especially with
regard to completeness.

_Do take seriously that you don't want this branch unless you're
actually working on it; you risk your data by actually using it._  If
you just want to edit Unicode and/or unify iso-8859 et al, see the
existing support and the extra stuff at
<URL:ftp://dlpx1.dl.ac.uk/fx/emacs/Mule>, mostly now in the CVS trunk.
(Editing support is mostly orthogonal to the internal representation.)

 * SINGLE_BYTE_CHAR_P returns true for Latin-1 characters, which has
   undesirable effects.  E.g.:
