Why not, indeed?  I wasn't aware of the existence of `set-keymap-parent'
in XEmacs until you pointed it out.  The preferred form in XEmacs is in
any case `set-keymap-parents', the singular form being in a file called
"obsolete.el".

Anyway, it doesn't seem to be a big enough point to be worth raising a
fuss over.
