I don't have a strong opinion on this. I didn't want to impose anything
and it seemed an easy thing to change later.

Standout is also used for an active region by default and this isn't the
region. For a basic terminal there are limited attributes available:
with the region it can be confusing if your terminal renders your cursor
as standout as doubled standout puts things back to normal. I use
subtler colours if I've got an 88 or 256 colour terminal which would be
my normal environment and disable it otherwise.
