** Comparison to Diminish
-Diminish is an established player in the mode-line world. What can
rich-minority offer?
-*** regexps
-*** "include" behavior
-*** highlighting specific modes
-
-What is rich-minority missing?
-*** It can't do replacement (yet).
-*** It doesn't have Will Mengarini's code-comment-essays.
+Diminish is an established player in the mode-line world, who also
+handles the minor-modes list. What can rich-minority /offer in contrast/?
+
+- rich-minority is more versatile:
+ 1. It accepts *regexps*, instead of having to specify each minor-mode
individually;
+ 2. It also offers a *whitelist* behaviour, in addition to the blacklist;
+ 3. It supports *highlighting* specific minor-modes with completely arbitrary
text properties.
+- rich-minority takes a cleaner, functional approach. It doesn't hack
+ into the =minor-mode-alist= variable.
+
+What is rich-minority /missing/?
+
+1. It doesn't have a quick and simple replacement functionality yet.
+ Though, technically, you can set the =display= text property of a
+ minor-mode to whatever string you want and that will function as a
+ replacement.
+2. Its source comments lack [[http://www.eskimo.com/~seldon/diminish.el][Will
Mengarini's poetry]]. :-)
