Quite honestly, I've never heard of ERT. If it's something that helps to make sure that BBDB works reliably with GNU Emacs 23.x you have me on the boat for this. -- Up to now, I simply used my latest GNU Emacs as the only reference. Yet I am updating this every now and then, without paying too much attention what has changed as long as things work for me. For BBDB this is certainly not a good strategy. If ELT can help to do this better, that's great! If you can contact David to get this going, yet better; thanks a lot. (Is there some web page documenting ELT? I quickly searched it, but I could not find it.) My main concern is XEmacs support. While I am not at all opposed to having this (re)added to BBDB, it is simply something where I do not know about and it ranks low on my personal agenda. If anybody is willing to work on this, please let me know.
