   IMHO, I think that formating the the text is a bad idea because then you
move away from the "just text" nature of un*x files and toward the extremely
program-dependant (and nonportable, and more difficult to transmit) format of
PCs such as the Macintosh. While I am admittedly biased, I believe that if
any text-formatting information is needed, the information should be kept
outside of the text file, say in an auxilliary file (but then we move toward 
zillions of "data" files as in MS-DOS PCs) or as text strings embedded in the
text (ie nroff, LaTeX, PostScript). 
   I don't agree with RMS's implementation of highlighting in Emacs 19; I feel
he's taken what is Epoch's best feature and made it mostly useless. But this
is just my opinion.
