Thanks for your questions. </pre> </blockquote> Thanks for clarifying my queries and documenting the Input Method Terminology on the wiki. I have edited and modified some bits there. Please have a look at them. One thing is not yet very much clear to me yet is, difference between "Input Method Map" and "Input Method Table". Could you please try to explain it a bit more in detail.
