Bugzilla #228 claims that the handling of iso8859-15 in COMPOUND_TEXT 
is incorrect. According to the ctext documentation no extended
segments should be used for any approved standard encoding. According
to the newer revision of this doc (xc/doc/specs/CTEXT/ctext.tbl.ms)
is8859-15 is such an approved standard encoding.
However XFree86 contains code to grant backward compatibility to
XFree86 3.x that uses extended encodings for this.

How importand is the backward compatibility to versions of Xlib
for 3.x? Should we remove this code which makes our COMPOUND_TEXT
handling violate the specs?

Egbert.
