Yeah, I've been thinking about this for literally years, and every
time I look the situation in popular IMEs seems to get worse.  For
example:

This is horrible, IMNSHO.  It is, however, what Mac and I believe
Windose do, and that seems to be sufficient reason for the wannabes at
Canonical to snafu.  So I'm still depending on Canna (!!) native in
XEmacs (no external IME, I use Kotoeri on the Mac).

Maybe I'll do some research during GW.
