I've only followed this discussion partially because I'm not familiar
with ancient Greek, but I noticed a few things.
Jan Willem Stumpel wrote:
Proposal (I tested this, with the small alpha only, and it seems to
work):
-- Greek (modern and ancient) should use the common (international)
Compose file.
-- The international Compose file should have different definitions for
letters with simple tonos and letters with simple oxia. At present,
the Compose file has
<dead_acute> <Greek_alpha> : "ά" U03AC # GREEK SMALL LETTER> ALPHA
WITH TONOS
(and grep "GREEK SMALL LETTER ALPHA" Compose|grep -v AND|grep OXIA
gives nothing!)
It should actually list the following two entries from Unicode data:
1F71;GREEK SMALL LETTER ALPHA WITH OXIA;Ll;0;L;03AC;;;;N;;;1FBB;;1FBB
1FBB;GREEK CAPITAL LETTER ALPHA WITH OXIA;Lu;0;L;0386;;;;N;;;;1F71;
I guess that's due to the following comments quoted from
en_US.UTF-8/Compose (SUSE Linux 10.0):

This means the Compose data are quite outdated (Unicode 2.0!) and should
be updated.
Jungshik Shin, would you provide us with the script or program that you
used to generate these entries automatically? That would be much
appreciated.
Actually, I would also like to equip my editor mined <http://towo.net/mined>
with compose data automatically generated from Unicode data. I could
do that myself but Jungshik Shin's contribution would help.
Also, the following information would help:
* What are the preferred keys that users would like to use to enter
oxia, tonos, etc as accent prefix or combination keys?
* Are any common keys (like quote mark, grave, acute) typically
associated with Greek accents or is that rather random and subject
to individual preference?
* Are any common keyboard mappings in use that set some de facto standard
here? What are their mappings?
If someone would answer these questions in a generic way (i.e. not
referring to X key names or mappings or even the more mysterious X
keyboard configuration properties), I would be grateful.
(I admit the questions are a little bit redundant, trying to achieve
the same result under different aspects.)
You can have a look at this document,
http://planet.hellug.gr/misc/polytonic/
Although it is in Greek, it should be feasible to discern the
combinations proposed. For example, "Νεκρό πλήκτρο" is "Dead key" in the
list.
If there are queries, feel free to refer to me.
The "Compose" file should be broken in smaller files per script rather
than having a big monolithic file.
There is increasing interest in updating this area of Xorg
(http://community.livejournal.com/xkbconfig/) and I home it gets done soon.
