I'm pretty confident these have been mentioned before, but thought I'd

Highlight takes ranges...which are hard for any mere mortal to create...unless
they use Apache Annotator! ;)
At any rate, I think putting a demo together that uses the Highlight API instead of
<mark> would be useful, educational, and awesome.
Note Randall had ambitions around this Highlight API:

I had not looked into it yet, but it seems a good match indeed. Mark
elements could indeed be used as a fallback.
