Re: selection-coding-system description in 21_1_RC etc/NEWS

[Richard Stallman]

    This entry from EMACS_21_1_RC's etc/NEWS is inaccurate:

      ** The default value of selection-coding-system is now
      compound-text-with-extensions.

      If you want the old behavior, set selection-coding-system to
      compound-text, which may be significantly more efficient.  Using
      compound-text-with-extensions seems to be necessary only for decoding
      text from applications under XFree86 4.2, whose behaviour is actually
      contrary to the compound text specification.

    In fact, the default value of `selection-coding-system' is
    system-dependent. On Windows systems, for example, it is iso-latin-1-dos,
    while it is compound-text-mac on Macs, I think.

Handa and Eli, can you rewrite this to be correct?
