You see? We have *no* XEmacs user reporting bugs (apart from you that migrated to Emacs), only developers using Emacs that sometimes start XEmacs just to see if AUCTeX works. That's fine until we're committed to support XEmacs, but honestly I don't think that's a fruitful way to spend our time ;-) Forcing AUCTeX to be byte-compilable with XEmacs requires us to use very old syntax and functions (or writing compatibility functions for the purpose), which makes the code less maintainable and efficient. I'd like to use lexical binding in AUCTeX (I should put it in the very-long term wishlist). That's impossible if we want to support XEmacs. Actually, I fear that dynamic binding is very much wired into many AUCTeX's internals, so a major work is required anyway.
