Then maybe another syntax should be used, but currently that's the syntax chosen: this is the value used for buffer-file-name. In any case even if you don't like this syntax, it's not "incompatible" since all it takes is to make sure the file-name-handler makes expand-file-name, file-name-nondirectory, and friends work correctly. Myself, I don't care much about which particular syntax is used but simply that "/full/pseudoname/to/vi.po" is no worse than "vi.po". > And if we don't install such a handler, the argument isn't correct at all. But it currently isn't correct either. We're just passing more info. Stefan
