Re: delphi-other-face mismatch

[Richard M. Stallman]

    Setting the value to the face `default' (which produces the desirable
    visual effect) is not exactly the same as a nil value.

When you say it is "not exactly the same", could you explain what that
means?  The two values are not eq, of course--is that what you mean?
Or are you referring to a difference in the user-level effects?
If so, what is the difference?

    Maybe customize should interpret an empty face input field as a nil
    value?  (Currently it signals an error "Invalid face: " in this case.)

That might not be a bad idea, but this is a small problem and I'd rather
solve it quickly and easily.
