highlightColor support?

hi,
I just started using urxvt, an its really great, especially the searchable
scrollback buffer rocks.
The only thing I am desperatly missing is support for a thing like xterm's
highlightColor:
From the xterm man page:
highlightColor (class HighlightColor)
Specifies the color to use for the background of selected or
otherwise highlighted text. If not specified, reverse video
is used. The default is ``XtDefaultForeground.''
I am using a black-on-white terminal and used to highlight selected text with
*highlightColor: #E0E0E0
in .Xdefaults (similar like mentioned in man 7 urxvt).
The result was, that highlighted text was with a very light gray background
color, but the text was still black.
URxvt doesn't seem to support the highlightColor resource, so I had to change
the colorRV resource with all other side effects. But the problem here is,
that when I set colorRV to the same light color, I can't read anything on my
black-on-white terminal, because the foreground color for reverse video
always is inverted, so I get white foreground on light gray background :(
Is there any chance to support the highlightColor attribute to support real
selection of the selected text background color, and with a heuristic to set
the foreground color accordingly to the background color?
best regards,
