This is exactly what I did in my Wikipedia mode before escaping was added to Emacs. And I'm too unsatisfied with escaping, so after it appeared, I made `show-nonbreak-escape' locally set to nil in all my buffers and kept the custom highlighting. I think `show-nonbreak-escape' should be nil by default. However, this has been discussed already and RMS will probably not be willing to change it.
