If I get a positive response I can perhaps look at a patch and tests, but if my understanding is amiss I will appreciate the heads-up. Best, Martyn p.s. I should point out that my personal view is that a serious well maintained Emacs library such as Org-mode should have a zero warning policy for official releases.
