Also, I agree that certain high-level stuff is (relatively) easy to add to redisplay, like the new specifiers or my lateish display-table hacks. The realistic question is: do we need that level of detail? (I sometimes wonder the same about specifiers.) Ben felt very strongly that we didn't, and I didn't quite agree with his position, but I do see a merit to the question. How much work is it to create such a redisplay engine? Could we use the work done by Andrew Innes(sp?), who created the new FSFmacs redisplay.
