it's done this way on the theory that it's better to have the new

I'll think about changing this in future versions of XEmacs (obviously
for backward compatibility a patch to htmlize is still necessary).
As far as I am concerned, don't bother unless perhaps FSF people did
things differently and code starts relying on this.
The current behavior of the plist functions is documented, yet I am
curious how this could have possibly worked in the past.
It should perhaps be made clearer in this and similar docstrings that
the side effect modification really means that PLIST might have
changed in unforseeable ways after the operation and that it does not
replace proper assignment.
