This is a nice abstract goal, but it doesn't seem important enough to even pay the small unnecessary overhead of font-lock. If you're so bothered by these exceptions to the `rule', why not just do it right, and implement one of the simpler suggestions made recently (e.g., have font-lock check for a buffer-local variable holding a function to do the work of turning on or off fontification, which defaults to the current font-lock)? -Miles -- Next to fried food, the South has suffered most from oratory. -- Walter Hines Page
