Agreed. I believe that I was considering the same idea from the
opposite end; the gnus-summary-highlight definition. I've been toying
with the idea that gnus-summary-highlight should specify a set of
conditions and font attributes. Each time a condition evals to true,
the indicated attribute is added to the line's face. That way, you
don't have to redefine a half dozen faces to get a consistent scheme.
To be honest, I haven't gotten past the thinking stage. I'll take a
look at overlays, they may make the idea straight-forward to
implement.
