No problems here, regarding the inclusion of microtype when using latex compiler. However, I'd strongly oppose to the claim that compatibility to the latex compiler (vs. pdftex) is an academic problem. I know about several LaTeX based systems that have to use the latex compiler simply because pdftex can't handle eps graphics and converting those images isn't feasible. So, while in the current case there's no compatibility issue, I think it's reasonable to support both compilers. Ulf
