I would be most interested to hear answers to this e-mail. I too have wondered about the differences between tuareg mode and caml mode.
I noticed that key bindings are different and formatting is handled a little differently. I have never seen a good comparison between the two though. Or why tuareg-mode exists at all (instead of improving caml mode). Another thing is that in the tuareg mode documentation, there is no mention that you need to install files from caml mode. It seems like C-c C-t (type throwback) only works after installing caml-types.el from caml mode. What other files from caml mode need to be installed? I'm glad to see ocamlspot.el is included now.
