I might as well dog-pile on, since I've been thinking about a few  
things having to do with the syntax file too....

1) Recognize the .if 0 \{\ ...lines... .\} sequence and highlight  
that block as comments too.

2) -mwww includes some very useful "ULS/ULE" (bulleted list) and "OLS/ 
OLE" (numbered list) macros. Having seen tag completion at work in  
the XML vim file, it would be nice if typing ".ULS" or ".OLS" would  
automatically include the corresponding end macro, a ".LI" and a  
blank line in between, and leave the cursor at the blank line.

3) Recognize and highlight "change bar" blocks (using ".mc") and  
highlight them.
