  Hi,


There are two issues here:

1. You are also using a dash-like character, \o4255.  The Emacs
[:alnum:] class
does not match this, therefore this character will continue not to be
    recognized.  Use the underscore in property names, I am supporting
this.

   Mmm... I used the normal underscore, _ (95, #o137, #x5f, U+005F). I
don't find \o4255.


2. Think twice before using non-ascii characters in property names.
    This will make you file non-portable.  If you send it to someone
    living in a different locale, he/she might find the file broken.

ASCII doesn't work with my language (ex: Spanish); therefore I don't use it.
   But what I used is Unicode, and I wouldn't call it „non-portable"
nowadays (it works everywhere on the Internet and operating systems).
Even if „there can be programs which don't support Unicode", that's
not a reason to not using Unicode; what we must do --in my opinion--
is fix the programs.

I agree, but it is a fact that text you sent me did not look at all
like spanish, but pretty much garbled.

Anyway, 5.08 will allow [[:alnum:]-_] for properties.
