Subject: bug#6866: mule-cmds.el just _assumes_ all of Taiwan uses Big5 and not UTF-8

I demand an explanation.
$ zgrep TW mule-cmds.el
    ("zh_TW" . "Chinese-Big5")
You guys just *assume* that all TW people still use Big5.
One can do LC_ALL=zh_TW.UTF-8 until he is blue in the face, but still
  current-language-environment is a variable defined in `mule-cmds.el'.
  Its value is "Chinese-BIG5"
