Hi Tom,

yes, I know that every face has two definitions - in fact it has often  
more, for different numbers of available colors.

Still, I am hesitating to install this as (dark) default.  I think it  
would be great if this could be included as an option, but I do not  
want to add this as standard - in particular because I think many of  
the colors only make sense when they are also applied in other buffers  
like source code buffers, using similar font-lock faces.

I did publish my color stuff earlier today in this thread.  If someone  
wants to take it, clean it up and turn it into a color theme - I think  
this would be he best option.
