Completely agreed.  We've actually changed standard-display-european in
Emacs-CVS to make fewer changes (to be closer to just setting up a latin-1
environment), but we should probably go yet a bit further.
The main problem is that it changed the default value of
enable-multibyte-characters (i.e. it puts Emacs in unibyte mode).
I suggest we get rid of this part of standard-display-european.
