Different individuals, groups and communities can bring their own
expectations to input layout designs.
Design is a balance between capabilities and limitations of the input
framework versus the expectations of the user community around how they
language should work.
I work with multiple operating systems and even more input frameworks.
I have my preferred input frameworks. But it ultimately air is a question
of knowing your tools.
For instance, if you compile a keyborad layout from the commandline with
MSKLC you can chain deadkeys, build against custom locales in Vista and
Win7, or build against unsupported language codes in Win8+
