OK, I will recheck the situation when the beta TL2008 will be available.

Right.

I agree old is not good. But tquoteright is not the only change in the
encoding. Naming like ec-dbar-tquoteright-???.enc is too long... I am
thinking about ec-intuitive.enc but is also has disadvantages. I am not
sure here.
In every case I would prefer to insert a hyphen after 'ec' since
otherwise the main encoding info is rather hidden.
