Character/Paragraph formatting question

I have looked through the specs for CharacterFormat and ParagrahFormat and I cannot find the concept of changing the background color of a FlowElement.

I have gone through the adornment code samples and understand that I can create grahic objects at specific locations, but I consider this a very poor replacement for actual styling.

If anyone has some thoughts or suggestions I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
Tim

We recently added support for backgroundColor, backgroundAlpha. It is currently only implemented for spans in build 370. Here’s a TLF markup snippet showing usage.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TextFlow lineBreak="inherit" paddingBottom="inherit" paddingLeft="inherit" paddingRight="inherit" paddingTop="inherit" verticalAlign="inherit" whiteSpaceCollapse="preserve" xmlns=" http://ns.adobe.com/textLayout/2008">
<p>
<span backgroundColor="16777011" fontSize="48">Testing </span><span backgroundColor="16777011" fontSize="48" backgroundAlpha="0.4">background</span><span backgroundColor="16777011" fontSize="48"> color.</span>
</p>
</TextFlow>

Is it intended to add backgroundcolor to divs and pars as well?
