That'd be great. The new API shouldn't be too hard to adjust to. I'll be implementing the highlighter in C rather than in Ruby so I'll be interested to see how you go with it. The main difference in the API is that you won't specify the store, index and term_vector parameters per document field any more. This option will still be available but the behaviour will be slightly different. I'll go into more detail later.
