So, the problem with this is that it will nest the spans.

A little background: I opted to do this specifically with backColor, because the spec for execCommand/backcolor actually says that it should set the entire documents background color.. which is lame, right, cause how do we save that if all you can do is effect the things within a region? So I added the backColor functionality to take a really not optimal default and make it slightly less not optimal.. I by no means think the current backColor functionality is good, but it's better than the default -- and the nesting issue is why I left foreColor off.

Since it's so easy to add, I'd say let's put this up as an example on the wiki or something? Maybe provide this as an example in the README?

Thoughts?
