I think the 'don't unhilite TE items' rule is there since you don't want
to limit people inputting text in a field (I can think of a few examples
where you might want to do this, though).  However, in your app, I think
the use of static text fields would be more in the HIG, since you never
let the user change the values.  It would be confusing to se a text _edit_
field which could never be editted.
