Hi,

once in a while I find surprises in the luatex reference manual, such as the user_defined whatsits (great!).

1) Is the user_id field completely up to me? So I can use it somewhat as an attribute?

Yes.

2) Will the user_defined whatsit stay in LuaTeX (I know, nothing is fixed, but the developers might have a tendency)

Yes, I think it will stay. At least, I see no reason to ever remote it.

3) am I dreaming or is this really real?

Both could be true at the same time, depending on how well the actual reality -- interpreted reality link works in your brain :) Best wishes, Taco
