Are you sure you're not reinventing HTML+CSS? Besides I think we shouldn't ignore the possibility that programming is highlighted too much. I'm not entirely convinced using many coloured syntax highlighting is any clearer than just well use white-space and highlighting keywords comments and strings (the latter two because they aren't part of the regular flow, the former because they heavily influences the flow of the program).
