Perhaps it's completely safe for European users, but not necessarily
for everyone else.

We should also consider what, if anything, would that do to the
popular customizations people do in their .emacs files.

In general, bitter experience has taught me that Mule-related changes
in the default setup should not be done without careful consideration.

I'd suggest that someone posts here a description of the effects of
turning on unify-8859-on-encoding-mode, and we then could discuss the
merits and demerits of making it be the default.
