I don't necessarily disagree. `local-parsing' has its advantages as well (mostly it's more robust in cases where we got the syntax wrong, e.g. because Emacs doesn't know/understand the detailed syntax, or because the buffer's text is syntactically incorrect). This said, it should be possible to get the best of both worlds. Stefan
