Well, more simplest example:
1) Assume that startup locale hack not exist.
2) Assume that default table propogated to 8859-1 as you suggest.
3) Assume I set use KOI8-R locale/codetable on my system.
In that was I got some strange KOI8-R chars in various places
because they match some letters from 8859-1!
When default table is strictly ASCII, I don't see strange KOI8-R
chars because they are disabled as supposed.
So, I can't let European users live by price Russian/Japanese/etc.
users death.
