In the case of dired, however, there is a slight problem (especially with recent verions of GNU ls[*]) with visually separating the filename from the file-info on the same line. Perhaps it would be a good idea to give the _other_ fields (date, etc) a slightly different face to de-emphasize them a bit? What's the difference between putting a different face on the file names and putting a different face on everything but the file names? Either way, the file names have one face and the rest of the text has another. They seem like two ways of describing the same situation.
