- I think the 'don't unhilite TE items' rule is there since you don't want
- to limit people inputting text in a field (I can think of a few examples
- where you might want to do this, though). However, in your app, I think
- the use of static text fields would be more in the HIG, since you never
- let the user change the values. It would be confusing to se a text _edit_
- field which could never be editted.
