What do you mean by "unified" here?
What I meant was that, as far as I know, in Emacs this font selection currently does not depend on whether the charset is latin-iso8859-1 or latin-iso8859-3, because in UTF-8 text those two charsets are always displayed the same way that text sans charsets is displayed. And given the way the world has moved, it's hard to imagine any future version of Emacs caring whether the charset is latin-iso8859-1 or latin-iso8859-3 in UTF-8 text.
charset properties like japanese-jisx0208 do matter for display of course, and so should be kept.
The 'charset' property just tells Emacs to which "culture", so-called, or, if you want, to which language the greeting belongs
RFC 1896 specifies the 'lang' command to specify languages. Shouldn't etc/HELLO do that instead of using 'charset'? That would seem to match the intent of text/enriched better.
