Excellent, understanding the underlying use case is exactly what I
need, so that I can be confident that the solution actually solves the
use case, as opposed to simply complying with the letter of the law.

I just sent out an email asking "What is the use case for two levels
of background colors?" If you or anyone else could be of service in
explaining these things, it would help me a lot. I'll probably have
more similar questions.
