And the question, instead, then becomes tracking down through
the ancient history of JTC1/SC2/WG3 (<-- Note *3*, not *2*),
why the participants who drafted 8859-3 felt it was important
to include the Esperanto letters in the repertoire for the South
European set back in 1986. That date, by the way, is earlier than
anything I have firsthand records for.
ECMA was actively involved in developing these sets and published them
as parallel standard (ECMA-94, second edition, 1986).

ECMA had a very close working relation with ISO, some of that history
can be tracked down in snippets on the web; but sadly, most of the
active participant in developing the early editions of the 8859 series
would have passed away by now.
