Hey, good idea!

We are already using a thin red border for "unaccepted text". I guess 
using some other color to show focus could be good. We'll need to be 
able to tell 4 different states. Perhaps something like: clean/noFocus 
(no border), clean/focused (gray border), dirty/focused (red border), 
dirty/noFocus (darker red border). I'll experiment a bit with this. Stay 
tuned!

Thanks,
