With the new UTF8 compose rules and a us_intl kbmap, it seems to be impossible to generate characters such as apostrophe, acute accent, double acute accent, cedilla, double quote, diaeresis, grave accent, tilde and circumflex accent, since the keys for ', ", `, ~ and ^ are all bound to dead_<accent> keys, and there's no composition rule for them with themselves or with space, that could be used to produce the ASCII character or the corresponding UTF8 accent.
The rule I'd used before, that worked in revision 1.4 of xc/nls/Compose/en_US.UTF-8, was that composition with space would produce the ASCII character, whereas composition with self would get the UTF8 accent. These should work both as dead_<accent> compose and Multi_key sequences involving either dead_<accent> or the non-dead counterpart. These rules are no longer present in revision 1.6, rendering the us_intl kbmap mostly useless for UTF8 locales. Will you please fix it, or point me at the rules for generating this file such that I could take a stab at making it useful again?
