FWIW, I like to keep the vertical space usage to a minimum, so I often prefer to avoid the empty lines (and use the "Newline" style instead). If we ever want to refill docstrings automatically (ideally when displaying them), then we'll need some stronger hint than a newline. So I guess an empty line is not a bad idea, but I would indeed welcome some font-lock hack that make those empty lines shorter. Stefan
