FWIW, I think David and Marcus would be fine additions to the team.

Knock yourselves out, although I'm not sure what it gains. Note the 
capitalization of directory names issues some OSes have. Perhaps an 
'experimental' directory might be in order, too. Could I also ask that a 
brief explanation of the reasoning behind any structure is added to an 
appropriate file (the README?) for future extensions.

No need to go that far! Since your group is the first real multi-syntax 
group, you should feel free to go ahead and implement whatever works for 
you. :after (and potentially :before) methods on (setf syntax) and (setf 
buffer) that call something appropriate specialised on syntax should do 
for now. And then we might learn whether swapping command-tables is as 
easy as we hope!

PS: practically speaking, I'm not going to have a lot of time for 
finishing the buffer->pane paradigm shift in the next few weeks, I'm afraid.
