Hi Aidan:

Well, I suspect you know this, but others may not.  Aquamacs 2, which is 
based on GNU Emacs 23, is now Cocoa rather Carbon.  And, I concur, 
Carbon is on it's last legs; but it's been about 9 years of "transition" 
so it had to end some time.  So, your suggested merge with GNU Emacs or 
Aquamacs could bring XEmacs into the Cocoa era.  If you pair that with 
GNUstep, then it might be cross-platform as well.
