I hope simple sentences will help a bit:
1) There are no incorrect characters in the RO layout in xkeyboard-config. If you do not care why most texts in Romanian are written with sceddilla and tcedilla, that's another issue. The RO implementation fully implements the existing standard and may be used to enforce the new legislation.
2) The bug reporter has a problem with the graphical tool used to changed layouts. The layout that he wants as default exists in the xkeyboard-config file but it is not exposed in the graphical tool used in Ubuntu. Again, this is not a problem in xkeyboad-config.
3) The default layout in the Romanian xkeyboard-config file will change when most people will be able to *read* the commabelow diacritics. I won't call them "clueless" or "ignorant" or whatever. ETA: 6 to 18 months.
4) But it will still be the secondary layout in the new standard until there are a significant number of Romanian hardware keyboards.
You already have everything you need to fix this "problem" in your graphical tool. You have all my support on the xkeyboard-config side, but I don't think I have to add anything to xkeyboard-config to make your graphical tool do what the bug reporter wants. I'm open to suggestions and discussions if things are relevant to xkeyboard-config.
