One per fix would be nice though: one commit for bullet lists, one for typos, etc. But I understand it would be boring to do that now that you=E2=80=99ve come= up with that big patch, so either way is fine with me. > Concerning the "=E2=80=A2", I think no decision has been made yet.

(I was left with the impression that there was a rough consensus in the other thread, but surely there=E2=80=99s a bias.) In Emacs it=E2=80=99s quite easily typed (C-x 8 RET etc.), and at worst peo= ple can copy/paste it. Few descriptions have bullet lists anyway. Thanks, Ludo=E2=80=99.
