Any chance to have Emacs that is fully Unicode-based? I mean, no MULE and so on.

If so, I will convert to Emacs. XEmacs has been my choice for several years, but its development is slowing down... at least my impression is that. I was hoping that somehow Emacs would merge with XEmacs for the benefit of all, but it did not happen.

I'm not sure of all the details. I know there is a "unicode-2" branch which will be merged just after the 22 release. I don't think there's been a decision yet on whether to make the 23 release cycle a short one or not.

But I also know that I can use emacs in Chinese without having to modify anything (viewing and inputting Chinese characters).
