Great; stories of personal use habits are incredibly helpful. Thanks! Hmm, that 
gives me an idea: maybe I'll use Mozilla Moderator at some point to collect 
some use cases....

We ought to be able to support coloring and highlighting on old revs within 
DXR. We'll head that direction, freshly reassured that it's useful.

Though, with the planned dynamic rendering plan, indexes should be many 
gigabytes smaller, so maybe we can afford to keep a few around. I could see us 
having an MXR-style revision menu with the analysis-enabled revs marked so you 
can choose your own tradeoff between exact revision and analysis support.
