Hmm, it should be possible to make a font containing each of the smileys and
use that font to show smileys on the FSF Emacs. The only limitation would be
the multicolourness of some of the smileys. But i can imagine somebody might
be able to hack something using font metrics, zero width characters, and two
character glyphs... Besides, most of them would do ok with just a foreground
and background colour and this would have the benefit of scaling up to match
the size font being used in the document.
I don't know enough about X fonts to do this myself,
but i might start experimenting if no one else does.

but i can't imagine what else to call it.

How about "GNU Emacs". While XEmacs is technically also "GNU Emacs",
nobody but RMS calls it that. Thus, no confusion; "GNU Emacs" is code
distributed by the FSF, XEmacs is the "other" flavor :).

How about obsolete?

This would be really cool, although I know probably less than you do
about creating an X font. I can wax poetic about how stupid the whole font
model under X is though. :)

Give him full credit, like he wants with Linux/GNU Linux/lignux: eRMSmacs :)

What about xEmacs, which I personally have not seen, but just for the
sake of completeness... :)

The official word is:
GNU Emacs == generic branding - XEmacs and Emacs both apply
Emacs == that version of emacs maintained by RMS and dist. by FSF/GNU
XEmacs == the cool wizzy one :)
xemacs == a horrible typo that will cause you to be shot
Xemacs == a horrible typo that will cause you to be shot
From the words of RMS hisself from all the flamewars on the xemacs-beta
list and private email. Wheee fun.
