There should be a standard for active/selected item as well.
I gathered some samples here
http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Standards/ActiveStateItems

Unfortunately we don't use the color consistent and we don't even have a
color in the ColorThemes for this state (we've used highlightColor,
backgroundSecondaryColor or custom) so this can't be set yet as standard.
Anyway it should be a different color than highlighColor.

IMO the selection | highlight standard should apply and be the same no
matter of the element. Is should be a very special case if we break the
standard. That's why I consider comment header to be an inconsistency.

Thanks,
Caty
