Difference: Default layout has no dead keys, can reach all of ISO-8859-15 using (Shift+)Alt/AltGr.
Doesn't work in EN-US United States (with Mac extensions):
Alt+; = ×
Alt+X . (Alt+x followed by space gives .; Alt+x seems to be a dead key.)
Alt+, ␣ ,
Alt+. ␣ .
These should work according to
https://github.com/commanderx16/x16-docs/blob/master/X16 Reference - 02 - Editor.md The only real problem is how to type × (multiplication sign, $D7).
I found this helpful page:
https://sites.psu.edu/symbolcodes/mac/codemacext/ In Linux a similar map is English (US) - English (Macintosh): setxkbmap us mac
That is not exactly the same U.S. Extended in macOS:

Wow, thanks for testing it all. These were all documentation bugs, which are now fixed.
Alt+; = should be Shift+Alt+; =
Alt+. ␣ should be Alt+x ␣ (Yes, Alt+x is a dead key)
Alt+, ␣ should be Alt+p ␣

There are still some characters that cannot be typed in ISO mode AFAIK: ¬¹²³.
BTW this Mac keyboard layout is called U.S. Extended or ABC Extended; not just U.S. or ABC because that is a slightly different layout with some AltGr dead keys on other positions.

You are right! Those as well as µ are not reachable. (My auto-test code was faulty.)

I added µ to Alt+m and ¬ to Alt+l. This is consistent with the default US Mac layout and replaced dead/not useful keys.

Also SHY i.e. CHR$($AD) is not reachable. I didn't read all of this article, but one could type SHY (Syllable HYphen) at the end of a line to indicate that this hyphen can be removed, i.e. a sort of line-continuation character for words:
https://jkorpela.fi/shy.html NBSP i.e. CHR$($A0) is reachable.

Agreed, macOS calls it "ABC - Extended". I changed its identifier to "ABC/X16", and the docs call it "ABC - Extended (X16)".
