Have you actually *read* ISO 8859-1, or the free equivalent ECMA-94, or an
adopted national standards body version, or even the draft
<URL: http://wwwold.dkuug.dk/JTC1/SC2/WG3/docs/n411.pdf >?  These are not
graphic characters in the standard.

If you haven't actually read a standard (any standard), please don't
spread misinformation about its contents by making claims about the
standard without referring to it.
