OK, we can surely put in some <font style="color: neon"/> in the
JavaDoc and there used to be some <blink> in HTML too.

Go on. What atom type list would you suggest? I only know of Mol2 that
actually uses this approach. SMILES does not generally have this
approach, though valencies are defined for the organic subset. How do
you envision the 'setting'? Why is that prior to the reading, instead
of during the reading? And why does this contradict the Lego
philosophy?
