The main issue is whether text-quoting-style should be customizable, as opposed
to being a simple Lisp variable as it is now. Eli said "no", you said "yes", and
as I recall this issue was unresolved the last time it was mentioned on this
list. (I don't care, myself.)
The latest email flurry is minor by comparison. The main issues there are about
the Elisp manual, and are:
1. Whether the manual should recommend routinely let-binding text-quoting-style,
a style that Alan favors. I think it should recommend the (message "%s" ...)
style that the Emacs source code itself uses, as this style is more flexible and
reliable. (I can give examples of why, if you care.)
2. Alan wants the description of every affected function to have a big paragraph
about text quoting, whereas I prefer to replace those big paragraphs with short
blurbs that reference a single (new) section that covers the issue in more
detail than the big paragraphs would.
