I just thought I'd let the emacs developers know about the possible confusion and deal with it as they see fit. Maybe they'll choose to do nothing. Nick PS. BTW, I've deleted emacs-bugs from the CC list in this message, but it's still in Bastien's message. Be careful about reply-all: you might end up creating emacs bugs with every response. Also, btw, the bug report is at http://emacsbugs.donarmstrong.com/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=4242
