I just realized recently that the choice of colors with the core caml mode is not optimal with Xemacs: for some reason most of the used faces appear to be colorless. I didn't realize it before, because I'm always using GNU emacs, for which colorization works perfectly. But honestly, you're not going to say this is the main advantage. Colors can be configured so freely that you could correct this instantly: just replace the (not (boundp 'font-lock-type-face)) in caml-font.el by t.

This is not the same team, so there is no direct relation. Regards, Jacques Garrigue
