Aiighh! I smell disaster in the air! Are the xforms/qt2 differences just
because qt2 hasn't "caught up" to the xforms style yet, or are the
differences truly permanent? This will make the CUA vs. emacs keybindings
issue seem utterly trivial if they are permanently different. For now,
let's declare the xforms version to be "correct", and the only one to be
documented. When the qt2 version is considered to be mature, then perhaps
a chapter of qt2 differences can be written while we debate whether it
needs it's own document. I really and truly hope not.
