Dear all, and especially any lurking CSS gurus,

One of the frequently expressed use cases for Style is to dim the rest
of the resource, rather than put a border or color over top of the
segment of interest.  Especially for images, where a semi-transparent
color could obscure the features that are being annotated.

So, the challenge ... is there a way using CSS to natively express
this sort of thing?  If not, do we need to add a second property to
give the class to apply to everything except the segment?  For example
oa:styleClass is the class to apply to the segment and
oa:inverseStyleClass is the class to apply to everything else.

Many thanks!

Rob
