As far as I'm concerned, I like to have the NBSP highlighted in some way, but having them prefixed by some character is really annoying when you want to cut and paste from a xterm, and it sometimes make lines being more than 80 characters. So I guess underlining them is a good option (I haven't tried the patch, though). --=20 Ga=EBtan LEURENT
