Additionally, I'd suggest to change the paragraphs as follows[1]:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
@TeX{} and Emacs are usable for European (Latin, Cyrillic, Greek) based
languages.  Some @LaTeX{} and EmacsLisp packages are available for easy
typesetting and editing documents in European languages.

For @acronym{CJK} (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) languages, Emacs or
XEmacs with @acronym{MULE, MULtilingual Enhancement to GNU Emacs}
support is required.  @acronym{MULE} is part of Emacs by default since
Emacs 20.  XEmacs has to be configured with the @samp{--with-mule}
option.  Special versions of @TeX{} are needed for @acronym{CJK}
languages: C@TeX{} and China@TeX{} for Chinese, ASCII p@TeX{} and NTT
j@TeX{} for Japanese, H@LaTeX{} and k@TeX{} for Korean.  The
@acronym{CJK}-@LaTeX{} package is required for supporting multiple
@acronym{CJK} scripts within a single document.

Note that Unicode is not fully supported in Emacs 21 and XEmacs 21.
@acronym{CJK} characters are not usable.  Please use the
@acronym{MULE}-@acronym{UCS} EmacsLisp package or Emacs 22 (not released
yet) if you need @acronym{CJK}.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I think this is slightly more clear than before.  Do you agree?

Thanks for revising that node!

Bye, Reiner.
