they are for my visual benefit only. For example, I use colors for math and for markup elements (like \section{...} and \subsection{...}). Colors that I want to print are handled by markup elements like \color{blue} (which probably should themselves be rendered in color too).
Piece of cake to implement this with FG/BG. *If* you had a rigorous approach to your use of MoDes in your old docs, i.e. you didn't mix character MoDes that were for your own visual benefit with character MoDes intended for printing or for sending the file to a co-worker (i.e. for *sharing* with others), it is a simple matter to construct a *brief* XPL program that converts all your files, in a batch, from "" to "". I do this *all the time*, e.g. with 500 or 600 HTML files (huge changes to the coding). Takes maybe 30 seconds to execute (amazing how fast it goes, actually -- the files just fly past the screen, one after the other)...
    Do you simply apply a bunch of CI commands, or do something more complicated?
    (As for co-workers who might use XyWrite ... there *was* a time when I managed
    to persuade others to use XyWrite!)
