Yes. It's just that you mentioned it as a condition so I answered with respect 
to that condition. :-)

I think most (maybe all) already do include the Latin letters anyway. What they 
tend to do, though, is something like add dot 8 to the Latin letters. That's 
something which helps the user but wouldn't be done by a simple table merge. 
Also, even if the Latin letters weren't shared between two tables, some 
punctuation most likely would be shared but different.
