I received many long messages yesterday about this issue. What conclusions were reached from them?
If you do not consider the remaining problems, described in my previous message, to be a real problem, then I believe that there are not many conclusions left to be reached. I personally believe that instead of the current problematic implementation of a nil argument for MODE, it would have been a lot better to implement inheritance of keywords from other major modes by letting major modes specify a list of major modes from which they want to inherit. That _would_ solve all remaining problems. It could also be used for major modes that are only used as substitutes for recursive edits, which are usually _not_ derived modes. Why should, for instance, switching to an editable version of a normally read-only mode get rid of all fontification? However, implementing this would require more extensive changes to Font Lock than my patches.
