Absolutely. I'm not sure why it was suggested to be marked `obsolete' anyway -- `category' is a general abstraction mechanism for text properties (and overlays), not an ad-hoc display-related property. Removing it would reduce functionality, and making it not work for faces would make them an annoying special case, which is obviously something to avoid if possible. -Miles -- [|nurgle|] ddt- demonic? so quake will have an evil kinda setting? one that will make every christian in the world foamm at the mouth?
