The thing is that there are a gajillion (that's a technical term) communities
out there that have reinvented syntax
highlighting definition languages. Every text editor has one, and I've tried a
ton of them. They all use underlying
models that are almost identical yet slightly incompatible. In some cases
conversion would be possible, but not
all. It would certainly be nice to have a common language or a conversion
utility, but it's actually not *that* hard
to develop a pretty decent highlighting mode for any given language -- I've
written several OCaml modes and it
never takes too long to get the basics working.
As for .properties files, I'll add 'em to the list.

I'm going to close this for now because AFAICT highlight doesn't support
.properties files. Feel free to file a
request if/when it does.
