I tend to avoid read-onlying text while highlighting, as read-only
regions can be a pain to edit. You can't cut them, you can't erase the
buffer, you can't do lots of other things. =) I usually just change
the face property.

Incidentally, is there a good way of merging face attributes? The
current way I do it with planner-tasks is _very_ hack-ish. I re-build
the list of attributes and create a face based on that. I'd really
just rather specify one or two new attributes. 'face seems to
override... <sigh>
