* Bring back the feature of showing the part of the buffer that is a problem
  for the use of the preferred coding systems.

* Port the conservative stack marking code of Emacs' garbage collector
  to more systems, so that we can completely get rid of GCPROs.

* Program Enriched mode to read and save in RTF.  [Is there actually a
  decent single definition of RTF?]

* Implement other text formatting properties.

  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.

* Implement the design for Unicode-based internal encoding for Mule.

* Document the features of libraries missing from the manual (or
  ancillary manuals, including the Lisp manual in some cases).  Here's
  a list which is probably not complete/correct: align, allout, artist,
  ansi-color, array, battery, calculator, cdl, cmuscheme, completion,
  delim-col, dirtrack, double, echistory, elide-head, easymenu,
  expand, flow-ctrl, format [format-alist], generic/generic-x [various
  modes], kermit, log-edit, ledit [obsolete?], makesum, midnight
  [other than in Kill Buffer node], mouse-copy [?], mouse-drag,
  mouse-sel, net-utils, rcompile, snmp-mode [?], soundex [should be
  interactive?], strokes [start from the web page], talk, thingatpt
  [interactive functions?], type-break, vcursor, xscheme, zone-mode
  [?], mlconvert [?], iso-cvt, iso-swed, swedish, feedmail [?], uce,
  bruce, gametree, meese, page-ext, refbib, refer, scribe, sgml-mode,
  spell, texinfo, underline, cmacexp, hideif, mantemp [obsolete?],
  pcomplete, assoc, xml, cvs-status (should be described in PCL-CVS manual);
  other progmodes, probably in separate manual.

* Get some major packages installed: W3/url (development version needs
  significant work), PSGML, Mule-UCS, Tramp (?).  Check the
  assignments file for other packages which might go in and have been
  missed.

* Provide an optional feature which computes a scroll bar slider's
  size and its position from lines instead of characters.

* Adapt the gnuserv/gnudoit features for server/emacsclient.

* Remove the special treatment of binary files by DOS and Windows ports.
  They should use find-file-literally and `no-conversion' instead.

* Investigate using GNU Lightning or similar system for incremental
  compilation of selected bytecode functions to subrs.  Converting CCL
  programs to native code is probably the first thing to try, though.

* Add a feature to Info similar to "info --apropos SUBJECT".

  Emacs.

* Use the XIE X extension, if available, for image display.

* Rewrite make-docfile to something sane.

* Bring back the feature of showing the part of the buffer that is a problem
  for the use of the preferred coding systems.

* Provide user-friendly ways to list all available font families,
  display a font as a sample, etc.

* Have a command suggestion help system that recognizes patterns
  of commands which could be replaced with a simpler common command.
  It should not make more than one suggestion per 10 minutes.

  decent single definition of RTF?]

  This is not worth doing for all of these packages and we need not
  aim for completeness, but some may be worth documenting.
