Display specifiers make sense only if you can merge them and people didn't like the idea of merging. The problem is that for certain buffers creating or reusing a small window might make sense while for other buffers it doesn't. Dave, for example, apparently does use small windows since otherwise `display-buffer' couldn't reuse them. But he doesn't want `save-some-buffers' reuse his small windows. So a global variable is hardly useful here and we probably have to use the ALIST argument of `display-buffer'. Window parameters OTOH are currently not customizable. We could give a window a `display-buffer-no-reuse' (which would be equivalent to setting the dedicatedness of that window to something non-nil-t) or `display-buffer-no-split' parameter. Again we needed some means to specify this via the ALIST argument. martin
