Another possibility, which might be a good one, is to upload different sets of digraphs as plugins on Vim.org. People could choose and download their preferred set. Is there a way to clear current digraphs though? This would be useful for such a feature (or useful anyway if you are only interested in a few digraphs and don't like searching for them in the massive list obtained with :digraph!). For completeness, there probably should be a way to clear a single digraph too. Cheers, Ben.
