Janusz is right that setting the variable according to the setting of
English language environment is not correct.  But setting it to t still
doesn't look well to me, I think the following default value might be
better:

  (not default-keyboard-coding-system)

This way it should be set to t iff a user prefers (either directly or
implicitly via his language environment) other encoding than ASCII.

The quail related thing is not dependent on quail, it works even when
quail is not present.  It handles the following problem: When one uses a
quail based keyboard, Emacspeak reads not only the character that
actually appears in the buffer, but also the English keyboard characters
generating it, which is very annoying.  Again, I think you can apply the
patch without affecting quail non-users in any way while helping quail
users.  Could you please apply it?
