>> Latin-1

Latin-1 became bed-ridden in 1990 (iron curtain gone, so we now really =
needed all these Czech, Polish, Hungarian, =E2=80=A6 characters) and its =
corpse was completely shredded in 1999 (introduction of the Euro, the =
symbol for which is not in Latin-1).
I wouldn=E2=80=99t build any strategy on Latin-1 or the stopgap =
Windows-1252 (Windows 95, with =E2=82=AC finally added in Windows XP).

Latin-1 of course is an encoding scheme (which could be called UCS-1) as =
well as a character repertoire (which is identical the Unicode range of =
U+0000 .. U+00FF).  Instead of the latter, a larger set of Latin =
characters might still be useful for memoizing much of NFC normalization =
and validation.
