Put "process enhancements" before "network enhancements".

inheritance is used when determining the value of a face attribute.

** New functions face-attribute-relative-p and merge-face-attribute
help with handling relative face attributes.

** Enhanced networking support.

*** There is a new `make-network-process' function which supports
opening of stream and datagram connections to a server, as well as
create a stream or datagram server inside emacs.

*** Network processes can now be stopped and restarted with
`stop-process' and `continue-process'.  For a server process, no
connections are accepted in the stopped state.  For a client process,
no input is received in the stopped state.

** Enhancements to process support

*** Function list-processes now has an optional argument; if non-nil,
only the processes whose query-on-exit flag is set are listed.

*** New set-process-query-on-exit-flag and process-query-on-exit-flag
functions.  The existing process-kill-without-query function is still
supported, but new code should use the new functions.

*** Function signal-process now accepts a process object or process
name in addition to a process id to identify the signalled process.

*** Processes now have an associated `private variables' property list
where programs can maintain process state and other per-process
related information.  The new functions process-variable and
set-process-variable are used to access and modify this list.

** New function copy-tree.

** New function substring-no-properties.
