That's a strange perception because font locking is often called
highlighting, not lowlighting. So font-locked text is supposed to stand
out.

Please look at something like \chapter{foo} and say that again. (c:

Because braces are not part of the macro parameter, they are just

No.
It shouldn't be too difficult (even for a user) to give braces and
brackets a face like `font-latex-sedate-face'. Perhaps I'll experiment
