I think users must understand that Emacs 21 may represent
the same Unicode character differently (e.g. in
latin-iso8859-2 and mule-unicode-0100-24ff).  In spite of
Dave's huge work, Emacs 21 still can't hide that difference.
Then, I think we shouldn't hide that defect.  Making
"mule-unicode-0100-24ff" a hyperlink to the documentation of
that charset, and improving the documentation should reduce
the users confusion (thought both are not yet done).
