Your understanding is quite correct.

When I desinged Mule (it was before Unicode was accepted
widely as now), there was no agreement in a character A1 in
a charset S1 and a character A2 in a charset S2 are actually
the same character. There was no authority that says the
code point 0xE3 of koi8 and the code point 0x96 in alt
represents the same character.

You don't have to wait that long. The emacs-unicode (in
emacs-unicode-2 branch of CVS) is already there.
