Perhaps I misread this as you are saying that every character should be
stamped with language context:
I do think that the language context should be everywhere present, though,
and that one should pick it up as early and conveniently as possible. But I
do not know how that should be done.
Could one not classify all available (human) languages, as one in Unicode
attempts to classify all characters, and make that available as a code? --
The number of languages should be much fewer than the characters. In such a
model, there will be a generic language code corresponding to old TeX.
