This patch adds a be(oss) similar to the fr(oss) one. The only changes are due to differences in standard serigraphy between France and Belgium It depends on the fr(oss) cleanup in bug #8853 Like before, please do not apply this patch at once — leave some time for Belgium users to comment

OK, so I will wait for your "go ahead" with this one.
People would like more stroked glyphs in this one; does deadstroke exist? I didn't find it in any xkb map (on my system)
From keysymdef.h: #define XK_dead_stroke 0xfe63 So I think you can try...

Nicolas, do you have a final version of these variants?
I may have one someday but it looks like someday is not soon so it's probably better to publish this version and let people with more free time than me improve it. I'm sorry it turned that way. I need 25h days it seems.
Do you want lstroke to be replaced with dead_stroke? What about Lstroke (4th level)?
deadstroke would be fine. There is not enough room on the layout to include all the polish stroked letters, lstroke is not sufficient by itself, so a dead key is needed
What about 4th level?
Leave it empty for now someone will fill it. Or just take the value of the fr(oss) keyboard for 3rd level, and put the dead stroke on 4th
ok, committed. Nicolas, could you please check?
Created attachment 85054 [details] [review] removes wrong comment, and lines out the drawing Attached patch fixes a discrepancy between comments and actual key assignments. It also lines out the visual example properly.
Forgot to say: I emailed the original submitter and he answered (quoted with permission): "This is all very old, I fear I don't remember all the history clearly. [...] I *think* it's probably a small mistake -- dead keys are more flexible but they're a usability PITA. You can take this mail and propose a change to svu if this is annoying Belgian users." If anyone is using this variant, they probably don't want to see any change in key assignment, so the patch adapts the comments instead.
Thank you, it is in git now
