T2 _is_ reserved for Cyrillic, but AIUI the layout of the encoding
isn't yet fixed.  J"org Knappen coordinated a meeting about it at
TUG'96, but it surely can't have produced a final answer, since all
the people present were primarily Russian-speakers (i.e., no
Bulgarians, Serbs, Ukrainians, etc.).

J"org -- are you there?  Do you have any output from that meeting?
