Great. That's a good start. Please consider adding it to the Elisp manual as well. Some (maybe most) users who want to implement or customize syntax highlighting will go directly to the Elisp manual, expecting (correctly) that this is done using Elisp. And in fact one of the most relevant nodes for this topic is `Customizing Keywords'. "Customizing" is a human task - this is a case where the Elisp manual (correctly) includes some guide-like information.
