I didn't see this problem, so I'm glad it's gone away.

I'm not quite sure what to do here. As you have noticed the original
syntax_highlight grammar included leading spaces with most "elements". My
current scheme doesn't. I can easily make it behave like it used to, but 
it would become a little trickier to document. Perhaps we should wait and see?

I guess I was waiting for the dust to settle, the various proposals to be
accepted etc. I think James is now in charge of this proposal, so I'll take a
look at his revision and submit documentation for this.

Sounds like we still need to sort out how to inline the highlight schemes. I'll
have a think about this. My time is getting more limited though, and I need to
go back and read up on Boost build, tools etc.

Regarding the tabs<-->spaces problem, I suggest this should be sorted out when
the source file is loaded and before any further processing is done. Shouldn't
be hard.

Good to hear. (Phew!). Have you tried adding a user defined scheme?
