If you have tabulated text in alternately colored background lines, it
might well make sense to inherit that.
Please: be aware that we are talking about a generic mechanism here.
It does not make sense to hard-code behavior for a single application
into it. There is more than one behavior that makes sense, and if we
find that we can only cater for a single behavior of several possibly
making sense (or being consistent), then we need to extend the API
rather than fix the behavior to a single possibility.
