In my above sentence, "n" is a Latin letter.  It may correspond to
HIRAGATA/KATAKANA LETTER N *or* 1st key stroke to n-a, n-i, n-u, n-e,
n-o, n-y-a, n-y-u, or n-y-o.  (Key strokes of n-y-a should give
HIRAGANA/KATAKANA LETTER NI and following HIRAGANA/KATAKANA LETTER
SMALL YA.)

Anyway, I understand your point that Latin -> Hiragana/Katakana
cannot be implemented as xkb.
