All I want is an easy way to display suspicious characters (as I recall
from when we started this discussion over a year ago).  I have no
problem that you're hosting markchars.el inside nXhtml and I can mirror
just that one file into the GNU ELPA, but if nXhtml has to be
*installed* in order to use markchars.el, I'll have to write my own
version.  I think installing a large, unrelated package is an
unnecessary burden on those who just want to detect suspicious
characters.  Can you please confirm one way or the other so I know what
I need to do, mirror or rewrite?

Just to be clear, mirroring markchars.el does not require you to change
anything.  The GNU ELPA machine will pull the latest markchars.el down
daily, that's all.

Thanks
