Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-pseudo-4] Add highlight pseudo for in-page search (#3812)

The CSS Working Group just discussed `[css-pseudo-4] Add highlight pseudo for in-page search`.

<details><summary>The full IRC log of that discussion</summary>
&lt;fantasai> schenney: Use cases for modifying the colors for find-in-page results on platforms that use colors<br>
&lt;fantasai> schenney: wouldn't apply in Safari's case<br>
&lt;fantasai> schenney: but both FF and Chromium browsers basically put a highlight the text<br>
&lt;fantasai> schenney: and some authors want to tweak colors to avoid conflicts or improve contrast<br>
&lt;fantasai> schenney: We prototyped, now want to ask if anyone has comments<br>
&lt;fantasai> emilio: we do implement this as a non-exposed system color so seems ok<br>
&lt;fantasai> emilio: they're hard-coded, so doesn't expose system colors<br>
&lt;fantasai> schenney: Page has no idea of what's actually highlighted<br>
&lt;fantasai> schenney: So don't think there are any new privacy issues here.<br>
&lt;astearns> fantasai: the main thing to worry about is if the author chooses intentionally-obscurre colors<br>
&lt;fserb> annevk, I see. Could we set up a "WHATWG subgroup to discuss canvas text"? Would that work?<br>
&lt;fantasai> schenney: There are people trying to prevent people from searching, e.g. suggestion to capture Ctrl+F<br>
&lt;fantasai> schenney: similar problem for selection and grammar-error<br>
&lt;fserb> annevk if we could have someone to participate at that from Apple, that would work.<br>
&lt;fantasai> schenney: If no other comments, then will go forward with previosu resolution.<br>
