You forgot jit-lock (aka lazy-shot).

Agreed. I proposed a new `highlighting-mode' (or some other name,
I can't remember) instead of moving code out of font-lock.el to
font-core.el (I hate moving code, among other things because it makes
CVS much less useful) but for some reason it was not retained. I didn't
(and still don't) have time/energy to follow the whole discussion, tho.
