I do not want to eliminate the possibility of highlighting under explicit program control. For instance, it makes no sense to turn off the faces in a Custom buffer. If this isn't going to happen, then I suggest adding something to the Font Lock node saying that it does not affect all faces. I don't see anything which suggests it does. Where did you get that mistaken idea? If you show me some text which seems to suggest it, I can clarify that text.
