Demos 2 and 3 are more to my liking. It's difficult for me to say what exactly
should be the duration of the highlighting/inversion. I am also undecided
whether the highlighting or the inversion is better. Let others chime in...

However, I would like to suggest one other option regarding the visual style. A
bookmark is currently indicated with gray square brackets: [Text]. The
highlighting could be the extension, or filling, of the area (/run) between the
start and end brackets with the same gray color. Perhaps that might seem less
idiosyncratic than a new style of highlight - more like some physical marking
that gets unfurled then stowed away, a bit like clotheslines. I'm not saying
that I'm sure this is better - just an idea.

Another point to consider is how other applications handle this - particularly
w.r.t. finding objects. In Writer, finding something means selecting it. But
not all applications share this behavior. In Firefox, for example, selection
and find-highlighting are different. Try using both on this webpage, for
example. On Linux (and with FF using GTK I think), selection is dark-color
background (blue) + white text, find-highlighting is light-color background
(green), white text.
