Good point. All this taken together still means to me that comparisons between wide and narrow strings should take place at the character level, which implies that coercion from narrow to wide is done at the character level, without looking at the encoding. (Which in my book in turn still implies that as long as we're talking about Unicode, narrow strings are effectively Latin-1.)
Sorry for jumping in, I've only recently discovered this list. :-/ At the moment, most of the computing world is not Latin-1 but Windows-12??. That's why I don't think this is a good idea at all.
