You could use overlays instead of text properties. That way, you
could have both highlighting and native characters simultaneously.
It would probably be cleaner to do it the other way around, change
Gnus to use overlays for highlighting.
You'd need some kind of emulation library, as Emacs and XEmacs use
different APIs for overlayes. XEmacs use a more general and powerful
abstraction called `extents'. It looks like it would be simple to
build the overlay API on top of the extent API, but I haven't tried.
The other way around would be impossible.
No Emacs vs. XEmacs flames, please!
