The BBC Micro and ZX Spectrum used ASCII 0x60 for £, the early 1980s probably being about the last time you could design a computer without caring what Americans thought. Maybe you could sort-of follow that trend, by squeezing £ onto the ~` key somewhere, and cover even more of Europe-the-continent with the basic layout? (Why does the 102nd key (between left shift and Z) have another copy of < and >? This is good in a sense, because the layout works for both ANSI- and ISO-type keyboards. But it does seem a bit redundant.) While as a longstanding US-Dvorak user, I would not contemplate switching back to QWERTY, this layout does look very sensible. I particularly like the US-style punctuation placement. (Far superior, in my view! " in particular is very convenient.)
