And this is the crucial point. latin-1 is an obsolete and non usable
coding scheme (esp. for european languages).

We fall on the point I mentionned above. Microsoft know this, ditto
for Apple, ditto for "TeX", ditto for the foundries.
Even, "ISO" has recognized its error and produced iso-8859-15.

The question? Why is it still used?
