Re: blank-mode.el

 1. Rather than exceed 80 characters, the first line of blank-mode.el
    should be:

;;; blank-mode.el --- Minor mode to visualise blanks (SPACE, HARD SPACE, TAB)

    with a comma instead of an `and' before the word `TAB' and no period.
    That is 77 characters long which is almost, but not quite, too much
    for a heading.

 2. Regarding the body of the library, as a general rule, comments
    should be filled according to the Emacs default -- I notice the
    lengths are longer although they are less than 80 characters.

 3. Also, while a carriage return occurs at the end of a line, that
    place does not necessarily mark the end of a paragraph.  By
    default, please do not use a between-paragraph symbol for the end
    of a line (a carriage return or \n) that is not the end of a
    paragraph.  (Five out of the six carriage returns in this
    paragraph do not mark its end.)

Thank you.
