Just in case: I've implemented highlights in [Sciter engine](https://sciter.com) 3 years ago and have quite possitive experience with them so far.
Primary usage: spell checker highlights and syntax colorization.
The only major difference from the Highlight API spec is that I am using `::mark(...)` pseudo element rather than `::highlight(...)`
Yet it would be very benificial I think to allow `::highlight(...)` to be applied to content of <textarea> and <input> elements:
```
textarea::mark(number) { color: brown; }
textarea::mark(number-unit) { color: brown; }
textarea::mark(string) { color: teal; }
textarea::mark(keyword) { color: blue; }
textarea::mark(symbol) { color: brown; }
textarea::mark(literal) { color: brown; }
textarea::mark(comment) { color: green; }
```
So these can be used as code editors.
