I know. But the changes are still marginal:

I would prefer to ask native speakers.
Looking at that webpage, I see no problems for Norwegian speakers.
The euro sign sure is useful to have.
Loosing those fractions (1/4,1/2,3/4) is not a problem, as lyx-1.5
supports nicefrac.
Going to latin9 also loose diaeresis and accute accent.
That shouldn't be a problem either, as we have " and '
in ascii, and ascii is still supported. So I can still print program code
using these symbols with lyx.
Just wonder why we don't go for iso8859-15, which is supposed to be
iso8859-1 with the euro added. Or is latex support for iso8859-15
weaker? Oh well, latin9 don't seem to loose us anything useful.
Perhaps lyx2lyx should convert any "3/4" "1/4" and "1/2" glyphs to nicefrac
though?
