AFAIK, Vim has no specific "blinking" highlight capability: it is not
mentioned under ":help attr-list".
In Console Vim, you might work around this limitation by tweaking the
termcap (if you know the correct ANSI codes for blink-on and blink-off)
and deciding that, for instance, anything declared "italic" shall get
the terminal codes to make it blink instead. I don't think this is
possible in the GUI because you cannot manipulate the termcap codes of
the "builtin-gui" termcap.
See ":help :set-termcap"
