Tossing another can of worms into the minefield...

What does the list think of the idea of fallbacks for "common" approximations
e.g. have Unicode->iso8859-1 map Microsoft cp1250

<U2018> \x91 |0 # LEFT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK
<U2019> \x92 |0 # RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK

Fallback map those to "'"

<U201C> \x93 |0 # LEFT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK
<U201D> \x94 |0 # RIGHT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK

And those to '"'

Likewise perhaps map iso8859-15's

<U20AC> \xA4 |0 # EURO SIGN

To

<U00A4> \xA4 |0 # CURRENCY SIGN
