I don't know what versions of es_ES are you talking about, but I promise 
you that the one we are working here (at 
http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress-i18n/es_ES/trunk/messages/ and 
http://wordpress-es.sf.net) is 100% complete and
up-to-date (I have checked it out again right now, just in case ;)). 
About the encoding of our translation, it's coded as UTF-8, but we used 
HTML entities for the special chars so it can be used in all UTF-8,
ISO-8859-1 and ISO-8859-15 encodings without any problem.

It's cool. I will release a es_AR version as soon as possible ;)

I think that too much people will be happy using your Mex Spanish 
translation, go ahead! You may contact Ryan Boren in order to set up a 
specific locale space for es_MX on the repository. Oh! and don't forget 
reading all the past archives of this mailing list (there are various 
working conventions and pretty interesting discussions about our i18n 
efforts)

Greetings,
