This won't directly work for middle-dot, when it is used in Latin with
no surrounding whitespace.

Perhaps the best thing is simply to write Latin using spaces
rather than middle-dots.  That is also correct.

But in general it would be good to label parts of text with a language
so that various features can automatically do the right thing: case
conversion, spell checking, and more.  Also character syntax
for middle-dot and other things.
