Is this not absurd for a default setting: I.e. T1 and CM? If the majority of users supposedly not primarily write in English, should it not be T1 + LM? If however most write in English should it not be OT1 + LM? Why bother with CM? Or am I missing something? Perhaps a survey might shed light on the situation. Cheers, Sam
