RE: will 'highlight' be external or coincidental with stroke?

Personally, I like the idea of the default for highlight being a
double-stroke (that is, an external stroke, in addition to the normal
stroke). This is easily doable using a UAs Vector Effects capabilities, and
it's distinctive enough that it's probably the sort of thing people expect
double-stroke to mean. You've shown  on your own peepo.com site that an
external stroke has an intuitive meaning.

Of course, highlight is also customizable by the author, and hopefully the
user, to fit the document at hand.
