+ ;; This used to be `:inverse-video t', but that doesn't look very
+ ;; good when combined with inverse-video mode-lines and multiple
+ ;; windows. Underlining looks better, and is more consistent with
+ ;; the window-system face variants, which deemphasize the
+ ;; header-line in relation to the mode-line face. If a terminal
+ ;; can't underline, then the header-line will end up without any
+ ;; highlighting; this may be too confusing in general, although it
+ ;; happens to look good with the only current use of header-lines,
+ ;; the info browser. XXX
