I think we've already given too much thought to something that should be simple, so I've done what you say: there's now no customizable face or variable, just a function `help-default-arg-highlight'. The NEWS entry explains that the user should redefine the function if he's not satisfied with the default. The default, by the way, is lowercase italics if display-supports-face-attributes-p says that the display supports it, uppercase normal (non-italics) otherwise. I'd suggest to leave the issue to rest and come back to it only if a problem is found. /L/e/k/t/u
