RE: [cgmo-webcgm] setRedraw002: 'add' or 'addHighlight'?

[Lofton Henderson <lofton@rockynet.com>]

Yes, I think the fact that it has been in the standard that way ('add') for 
2-1/2 years is the clincher.

We might have considered doing it differently during 2.0 development.  I 
sorta' remember discussions then, and I think it may have gone along the 
lines of:  highlight("addHighlight") is redundant.  (Even though it would 
have been more consistent with the fragment syntax specifications.)
