Sweet.  One thing that would be lovely to see, though its only a
wishlist
item for sure and possibly not really in line with what source-highlight
does, would be folding in the HTML output.  I realize this opens the 
can of horror otherwise known as JavaScript but it is pretty handy
sometimes
for reading source.

You're right.  I guess I like graphs because I can't read.

Maybe sometime, its too rough for general consumption, and tends to be
sort of foiled still by the tendency of web systems to be written in
a combination of 4 or 5 different languages (ours has php, C, ruby,
JavaScript and of course SQL eeeeeep).  Its helpful to me
though and I really appreciate the highlighted code views.
