This text also contains the complete lists of 117 characters for 'letter'.
Comparing it with the 124 characters that I got, the differences are at

 #\246 U+00A6  BROKEN BAR
 #\250 U+00A8  DIAERESIS
 #\264 U+00B4  ACUTE ACCENT
 #\270 U+00B8  CEDILLA
 #\274 U+00BC  VULGAR FRACTION ONE QUARTER
 #\275 U+00BD  VULGAR FRACTION ONE HALF
 #\276 U+00BE  VULGAR FRACTION THREE QUARTERS

The Unicode classification of these characters has not changed between
Unicode 3.0 and Unicode 5.0.

But these are exactly the byte values which differ between ISO-8859-1 and
ISO-8859-15.

$ LC_ALL=de_DE.iso88591 locale -c LC_CTYPE | head -6
LC_CTYPE
upper;lower;alpha;digit;xdigit;space;print;graph;blank;cntrl;punct;alnum;combining;combining_level3
toupper;tolower;totitle
16
1
ISO-8859-15

Oops. My system has a locale called 'de_DE.iso88591' which is in fact using
ISO-8859-15. Not a bug in guile. Sorry for the noise.
