The compound text spec shows a 1989 copyright, states that it is
version 1.1 documenting X Version 11 Release 6.8 and notes that
it might be expandepd in the future.

The ctext addtions were clearly added to support additional locales.
And the expansion has stopped thanks to the general shift from iso-
2022 to iso-10646.

Clearly the ctext spec should have followed along with the reference
code just like, eg, the elisp manual follows the code.

I think it is more than fair to update the ctext spec to document the
current reference code, especially now that the document is old enough
to purchase alcohol in its home country. :)
