On my ToDo list is registration of mailto: and other more fancy

can take over the world. SteveB once had a good quote about not being
satisfied until he had to defend XEmacs' monopoly to the President or a
senate commitee or something. But he said it much better than I can remember
it ...
Someone at work has this other quote:
"Total world domination, nothing less"
If you can get it to register http: and mailto:, and *not* include a
ViralBasic scripting interface, you could get rich selling it to people
tired of having to apply the Microsoft feature-removal-of-the-week patch.

(obligatory Emacs reference: at least we *document* (I think - if not,
we *SHOULD* be) that people who use Emacs on externally-created files
may want to use:
(setq enable-local-variables nil)
Incidentally, the docstring for this variable includes:
The command M-x normal-mode always obeys local-variables lists
and ignores this variable.
This gave me a mild heart attack till I looked more closely at lisp/files.el
and convinced myself that if normal-mode is called from find-file, it *does*
obey enable-local-variable ;)
