It is the case today but it is unlikely to be the case when sieve
become a standard. The most important reason is the replacement of the
generic money symbol (0xa4 ¤) with the euro symbol but it also includes
some of the characters that they missed in Latin1.
Expect the impact of 8859-15 (so-called Latin 0) to be negligible. The only
vendors who are supporting it are those who have weak Unicode implementations.
The dominent desktop is Microsoft Windows, and it supports the Euro just fine
through Unicode; I have yet to see any application on MS Windows that supports
8859-15.
