I would very strongly advise against diverging from what's done in other OS. The most common keyboard layouts are now standards in most countries that define keyboard layouts and their behaviour and, when they exist, they're implemented in these other OS (well, let's be clear: in Windows). Whether this is "good" or not is generally a matter of taste, but having different behaviours is exactly what should be avoided, imho. This is what lead to the current nightmare that is "implemented" in console-data. So, if US international in Windows uses dead keys, then US international in X should use dead keys (it does, actually) and so should do console-setup. Nothing prevents those people who want something else to change settings or create their own variant. To be clear: I *know* about consequences of the "dead tilde", no need to give it to me as a counter-example. But, please take this as a pledge: don't restart with X what was done with console keymaps and create a big pile of crap that becomes unmaintainable over time.
