Good idea. It would be good to include some of the use cases brought up here (e.g. dealing with different languages). People here who are more familiar with specific cases could make suggestions or propose corrections to whatever is written as a first draft. That way, these cases and their possible issues (so far) will be out there, from the outset, in addition to the general info about using the new feature. That will help users who might run into such use cases on their own, and doing that will help us get more feedback from such users, for future enhancement of the feature. Mentioning such things on the blog could be done in a separate section, after the main points have been made. In addition to the benefits mentioned above, this will show people that Emacs is thinking about such things and is open to suggestions about them.
