Fair enough. So, let's make it font-lock-variable-name-face and font-lock-type-face, which are orange and green by default. > Similarly to my reaction to your similar proposal on the Gnus list -- I > don't think you can use the current very limited set of default font > lock faces for all the various faces out there (or "in there" in Emacs > core).

The counterargument is that the majority of faces out there already do inherit from font-lock and other basic faces.
