Actually I did have a look at it (assuming you're talking about
textbackgrounds), but I found their behaviour to be rather
different from that of backgrounds even when location=paragraph.
For example, setting frame=on doesn't give me a frame, and it
doesn't seem to support rounded corners for neither the background
nor the frame. Also, setting a largish offset "covers" the text
that precedes the background, and this isn't nice at all. I think
that textbackgrounds and backgrounds serve different purpouses.

And what about the other requests? (Behaviour at splits, different
corner styles)
