Use of extended segments in this way is not an extension of ctext;
it's exactly what they are designed for.  True, XEmacs doesn't support
them properly yet, but that's XEmacs's problem; we should and will
support them.  But I would oppose adding special-case support (eg,
using private character sets or an alternative use of DOCS) to XEmacs.
