Hi Michael,

From what I can tell with-editor doesn't use this mechanism, which 
is a bit of a shame, since the design of it is good in my opinion.

The server-window-alist bug? While that relates to a use of 
emacsclient, it doesn't (as far as I can see) mention emacsclient 
being invoked on a remote, which is the situation that interests 
me.
