Emacs's html-helper-mode is seriously out of date vis-a-vis current html
standards. It is my intention to modify the cookies to bring them up to
html4.01 or xhtml1.0 recommendations, and current best practice.


There are areas where I need guidance.

The Debian Emacs packages install the file(s) already byte compiled. Is
this from unmodified source from the mode maintainer's version as
available on the home site, and would there be any issues if it isn't?


Does this test procedure seem complete/safe enough?
mv ./html-helper-mode.elc html-helper-mode.elc.orig
cp ~/hhm/html-helper-mode.el ./html-helper-mode.el
Take a run through all the cookies.

Would it be out of line to post a link to my mods for d-u members to test?

cheers,

OK, I got a good start. I'd appreciate anyone's help who uses Emacs and
the html-helper-mode. Are there any newly introduced bugs? What else
would improve the cookie insertion? And, more importantly, is the patch
in a proper form to send to the upstream hhm maintainer?
