The folks you mention may not know about my proposal. In such case, you may want to point them to my proposal.

Can you provide a link... ---------------------------------------------------------------- Permit me to overlook your advice, until such time as you contribute some MATERIAL CONTENT (or NOTIONALLY SIGNIFICANT CONTENT) to "The Emacs Primer". I am soliciting allies (and JUST their advice). At this point in time, I can do well without any detractors or nay-sayers.
