I posted an idea for per-buffer faces a while ago (a buffer-local variable containing an alist of face name remappings; face lookup filters requests through this alist), which Richard seemed to think was all right; I think I'll take a shot at a simple implementation. -Miles -- 80% of success is just showing up. --Woody Allen
