Not as far as I can see.
: What are your thoughts about these problems? Is there any thoughts on

: I think we can't afford to try to worry about these issues.
I did, since I am using a swedish keyboard on a pc with AltGr ;-)
I have uploaded altgr.el to http://www.emacswiki.org/ with a workaround for
the problem. I just redefine keys which are on AltGr (like \) in
funktion-key-map to use another key when the keyboard event is modified is
modified with control or meta. There are structures in the file for entering
new language specific modifiers. I will encourage other users to enhance the
file with something suitable for their specific language keyboard.
I believe altgr.el could be loaded by the setup-function in
language-info-alist, but I do not know if this is the right place?
