I happily use UIM, because it allows itself to be hooked up to more
specialized IMEs.

Mmm, maybe a first start would be a technical paper that points out all that
an IME ought to implement/expose in order to work towards a standard kind of
framework. Not sure how well that would work though.

Being able to have a romaja Korean IME on Unix (through uim/m17n) is very
nice and it's a drag to try and remember the keyboard layout on Windows for
Korean, for example.
