Inner structures of the condition part of defface already use a plist: (((supports :slant italic)) :slant italic) (((supports :underline t)) :underline t) And since nested structures are allowed in defface specs like: :box (:line-width 2 :color "grey40" :style released-button) I see no problem using them in the condition part as well. > So, should "the same conditional" mean `equal'?

This means more data duplication in specs. But this duplication can be removed via the inheritance mechanism.
