Ok, great. So the font-lock think is nearly solved?

I have been browsing the xemacs-archives about syntax table
bugs, but it seems the cases have been closed.

However I still have a way to make xemacs crash with fontification, so
not everything is clean.

This dates back the time were the fine  xemacs team wanted to be
able to put any kind of glyph in  an xemacs buffer,  when emacs was only
able to handle  simple    chars.  Many internal data    structures  (see
http://www.xemacs.org/About/XEmacsVsGNUemacs.html,   Lisp   programming)
have been planed in xemacs with versatility (by opposition to Emacs
internal data structures, at this time),  but long ago. I'm not sure
the plans have come to the right end however ;-)
