Re: problems with face-spec-reset-face and set-face-attribute

[Richard M. Stallman]

I think that the vectors in face-new-frame-defaults need
to have an additional state, different from `unspecified' and
a specific value.  This additional state would be `nothing here'.

If the value in `face-new-frame-defaults' is `unspecified',
it would override the defface with `unspecified'.
If the value in `face-new-frame-defaults' is `nothing here',
it would do nothing and the defface value would show through.
The values in `face-new-frame-defaults' would always start
out as `nothing here'.

Do people agree that this would work?

Would someone like to implement this?
