Doesn't XIM have a mode in which it cooperates via some protocol with
the application so that intermediate (pre-lookup) characters during
input appear "in" the app (not overlayed), but are still converted by XIM?

AFAIK, that mode is more complicated, so Emacs doesn't use it, but I
think firefox does, for instance.
