Amen, but one last little thing before we go back to the "non-cute" things.
As a big fan of abstraction I would like to see "logical" color names be the
preferred way to do this, ie:
<whatever background SRC="marble.xbm" color=contrast>
to apply a 1 color bitmap in the specified pattern over the existing
background in a contrasting color. The rest is ideally the bowser's job to
implement in a way that is pleasing to that particular user.

Now, back to our regularly scheduled program of SGML talk that still makes my
head hurt (but I'm learning).
