Now, where can we put this info so that users will find it?

Emacs' info file has already a Mac OS entry, it seems to be more 
related to Mac OS 9 and before. If this would be renamed accordingly 
and a new node 'Mac OS X' would be opened -- it would take some years 
until the other nodes will have their references to this one. And some 
distinction too is needed between using GNU Emacs as stand-alone X11 or 
Carbon application ... and in Terminal and/or xterm?
Carbon Emacs has different fontsets. You can drag&drop files on it -- 
but when you copy with M-w a region you can't paste it into another 
Aqua/Quartz application -- at least I can't! The same is true in the 
other direction -- M-w only seems to add entries into the 
kill-ring-buffer which is accessible under the Edit menu. You can't 
mark (hi-light) text by dragging the mouse -- well, the new background 
colour comes, but a beep too!
Since you have a Mac around try this Carbon Emacs 21.3.50 from CVS with 
some Japanese extras and interesting developments:

In December YAMAMOTO-san has introduced some new font handling: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2004-12/msg00004.html -- but I still can't see it with better ISO Latin-1/15 or UTF-8 support, it just allows to scale an OTF or TTF font in the system without having to use the limited embedded bitmaps. After Easter I might find some time to investigate this ...
