Are you sure? I don't think that description applies to these things. I would call them adaptations of existing features to fit the platform. Specifying colors with a slightly different format is not particularly useful except for compatibility with MacOS. If we ever find that discourages someone from moving away from the Macintosh, we could make Emacs accept those formats on other platforms -- it won'tbe hard -- but I doubt that will happen. As for tiling instead of stippling, perhaps I have misunderstood. Do you think some users will see that as a feature?
