(IT_set_face): Compare highlighted face with the default face, and invert colors if these faces' colors are identical. (Fmsdos_remember_default_colors): Don't swap foreground and background colors in initial_colors[]. (IT_set_frame_parameters): Don't swap frame's foreground and background pixels. If ALIST includes "(reverse . t)", swap foreground-color and background-color properties in frame's param_alist. If the original frame's param_alist doesn't specify the colors, store unspecified-fg and unspecified-bg, reversed if required.

* Program Enriched mode to read and save in RTF.

* Implement other text formatting properties.
** Footnotes that can appear either in place or at the end of the page.
** text property that says "don't break line in middle of this".
   Don't break the line between two characters that have the
   same value of this property.
** Discretionary hyphens that are not visible when they are at end of line.

* Can Auto-fill mode be extended to something that will refill the
  whole paragraph so as to keep it filled all the time?

* Implement a clean way to use different major modes for
  different parts of a buffer.

* Give start-process the ability to direct standard-error
  output to a different filter.

* Make compile.el record the markers that point to error loci
  on text properties in the error message lines.

* Make desktop.el save the "frame configuration" of Emacs (in some
  useful sense).

* Make movemail work with IMAP.

* Add ANSI C prototype forward declarations to the source files,
  so that even the functions used within one file have prototypes.

* Replace finder.el with something that generates an Info file
  which gives the same information through a menu structure.

* Implement a variant of uncompress.el or jka-compr.el that
  works with GNU Privacy Guard for encryption.

* Save undo information in files, and reload it when needed
  for undoing.

* Change the Windows NT menu code
  so that it handles the deep_p argument and avoids
  regenerating the whole menu bar menu tree except
  when the user tries to use the menubar.

  This requires the RIT to forward the WM_INITMENU message to
  the main thread, and not return from that message until the main
  thread has processed the menu_bar_activate_event and regenerated
  the whole menu bar.  In the mean time, it should process other messages.

* Make Emacs work as a Java Bean.

* Make keymaps a first-class Lisp object (this means a rewrite of 
keymap.c).

** Provide real menus on ttys.  The MS-DOS implementation can
serve as an example how to do part of this.
