Question: is the equivalent of \'{e} '+e or directly é (in the
internal representation)? I do not understand the stuff about
surrogate characters in the patch.
Second point: rather than putting in explicit preamble snippets I
think we should go for feature (i.e. put "textcomp" there, and handle
it in LaTeXFeatures).
Is it really necessary to look at the outerfont to know the encoding?
Can environment nesting really change the encoding?

This is OK.
Another question: what is the status of kmap files with this patch?
All in all, I like the patch (but I have not tried it).
