There are two things I've found lacking in Owl's formatting support:

* Colors that are specified numerically are ignored instead of being
  matched to the closest available color.  Clearly, it would be
  impractical to reimplement all of the features of X color
  specifications, but support for at least basic RGB specifications
  would be great.

* Nameless formatting environments don't appear to work.  Ie, the
  string "@{@color(red)Red} normal" should appear as "Red normal"
  where "normal" is not formatted, but instead comes out as "@{Red}
  normal", where everything but the first two characters are red.

Otherwise, Owl works quite well.  Thanks for making a sane Zephyr
client.  ]:--8)
