Sounds like a good idea to me.  The only slight problem is that, in
theory, colorizing and structuring interact slightly.  In particular,
consider examples like::

  - This is a list item talking about C{x
    - y}.  C{x - y} is a good value.  We
    all love it.

Here, in principle, we should be able to tell from the fact that we're
inside a colored region that the "-" is not a list bullet.  But I'd be
ok ignoring cases like that for now..  I've tried to be careful to
design my structring rules so it can be as independant of colorizing
as possible.
