`defstruct' is part of GNU Emacs (dunno XEmacs) in its cl library
(Common Lisp features library), so you can expect that users have it.
Code which should be included in stock emacs must not require those
features, though.

EIEIO currently is an external addon, so users would need to install it
before using your mode.

A simple plist approach like the one I've posted doesn't require
anything, but maybe the other structures are a bit more convenient.

So it's your choice to make. ;-)

Bye,
Tassilo
