It does this already. It defines a face which it uses just for highlighting errors; it defaults to red underlining. One thing that I think would be a nice touch here is if emacs could do wavy underlines. It's just a little more visually distinctive than a straight underline and slightly more suggestive of an error condition. Perhaps one could allow the underline face attribute to have a list value like the box attribute can: :underline (:line-width WIDTH :color COLOR :style STYLE) where style could be things like wavy, dotted, dashed etc. James
