comment mdwlist enumerate changes from Roman to Arabic after suspend
Even simpler is resume*. With it there is no need to define the label again.

comment Is the Bembo font (or a close equivalent) available for LaTeX?
I typeset books/documents with Bembo, New Aster or Garamond (for example) long before XeTeX and LuaTeX were available, and even without pdfTeX. As dvips supports Type1 fonts, that has been indeed feasible and done for many years.

comment Follow-up question to: titlesec: \sectionmark breaking \ifthesection?
\ifthesection does what its name suggest - it tests if \thesection exists and makes sense, and with starred sections it doesn't. Perhaps you want to test if \sectiontitle is empty.

comment babel: adding language shorthands to work inside glossaries
If the only language is english, you can use "user shorthands" with \useshorthands{"} and \defineshorthand{"~}{...}, which is much simpler.

comment How do I discover the shorthands defined by babel in my language?
Nice table. May I copy it in the babel docs? Babel 3.9 will provide a package option to set which shorthands do you want to activate (now in beta: ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/exptl/babel-beta).

comment Are XeTeX and LuaTeX platform dependent?
Once XeTeX relies on a component which is not under its control, we have a big source of dependencies. I would like to have a way to use (optionally) something similar to tfm and/or ocp, overriding what the fonts do, but iir xetex does not provides it, while luatex would require a lot of effort.

comment How to resume list numbering (enumerated lists) with multicols environments
This patch is buggy because it could mess counters up if lists are used in floats. In other words, the assignment is local by design. As explained in some of the links above and in the docs, the proper way of doing "global resumes" is with the key series.

comment What is the difference between \declare@shorthand and \defineshorthand in babel?
Igor, you can either use the LaTeX list (public) or send to me a message using the form in tex-tipografia.com/contact.html (and then to continue by e-mail). I'm finishing the first beta release. (And instead of \babelhyphen you can use the internal \bbl@hy@empty.)

comment Babel and the decimal separator
And in fact, currently the RAE (Spanish Academy) recommends the dot as decimal separator. See tex-tipografia.com/marca_decimal.html

Better is \renewcommand\spanishtablename{Otro nombre} (no \addto trickery).

It seems a bug in enumitem, indeed. I'll have a look at it.

comment Comma as decimal marker with siunitx (Spanish usage)
@Joseph I think a single locale for Spanish is not possible. Very likely we need ES_es, ES_mx, ES_ar, and so on.
