Ah, a fg/bg "swap". But what if the background is an image?

Maybe some sort of color "operation" like XOR, etc.

   highlight-method: dim|reverse|exchange(url)|operand(color)

   highlight-operand: xor|and|or

   highlight-opacity: <percent>

I'm just brainstorming here -- I know Apple defined a whole bunch of 
these things for QuickDraw (I think one's a BIC or something), so 
this was not a complete list by any means, just a basic idea off the 
top of my head. If someone here is familiar with what I'm referring 
to, please correct me! ;)
