Depends. In the present case, the face has no particular purpose, so
saying that "its purpose to highlight in yellow" doesn't sound like such
a bad idea. Not really worse than "its purpose is to be number 2".

"2" doesn't "speak to the use or meaning of the face" very much either.
I think the real issue here is that hi-lock should have a customizable
set of faces rather than a set of customizable faces.
So if the user doesn't like hi-yellow (which should be called
hi-lock-yellow, BTW) because she never highlights in yellow, she can
replace it with her own face with the name she likes.
