I don't understand in which context would "www-browser-alternatives" or "browse-web-alternatives" be used. For which commands are these options? www-browser and/or browse-web? > IOW, you took the subject of http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2013-06/msg01427.html > too literally. There is no word "dispatcher" anywhere in command and variables > proposed by Stefan in this message. I'm low on bikesheding. I choose one name knowing full well someone would complain. I don't have any preference. Your proposal suits me as well as any other. Now, if someone else has a different proposal, let's hear it, please. J
