Re: Cut buffers and character encoding

[Richard Stallman]

    The text encoding for cut buffers are defined to be ISO-Latin-1, so
    selection-coding-systemshould not have any effect.  That said, we could 
decode
    data from cut buffers from Latin-1 and encode to Latin-1 when putting data 
in
    there.

    But cut buffers are obsolete anyway, so I vote for just fixing the
    documentation and leave it as is.

Since people are evidently still using them, I think we may as well
fix this.
