Text with black foreground is not very readable on dark background grey40.
On the mode line there are already places where text is emphasized: buffer
names are displayed in bold (bold is also often used to make *emphasis* in
printed materials). Isn't bold strong enough to emphasize the "[waiting...]"
string? Then we could add a new general bold face `mode-line-emphasis'
and change `mode-line-buffer-id' to inherit from it.
