+1. Let's keep the Lucene core focused on things that really are "core" to indexing and retrieval.

Couldn't we also stick this in the Sandbox, make sure it builds into a
nice little Jar, and just document it in the Lucene's xdocs?
I'm just thinking that highlighting is not something that is a
necessary feature, so why 'polute' the core that should stay lean as it
is today.
The same has been done with Snowball code.

I don't feel VERY strongly about this, but I do feel that not including
it in the core would be a better thing to do.  Those who need it will
know how to get the highlighting jar and put it in their CLASSPATH.

This looks great.

Is everything cool licensing-wise with accepting this? Is it being offered to us to be included?

Just a quick glance at the code and the only thing I'd change is the default hilighting pre/post strings to be <b>/</b>, or perhaps even something even more general like <em>/</em> or <span class="hilighted">/</span> - but that is obviously just icing.
