Sorry, I missed this message until posting the link to the thread in the 
commit message.

A problem with highlighting in general is that too much of it hides 
detail.  Some sections of our documents look like "poison pen" letters due 
to all the highlighting.

For now, let's try letting application names just be pointed out by 
capital letters.  If that does not work, we can try something else.
