Eman, I have done all that and put things in a minor-mode.  What
I have a problem with is about whether or not to use a minor-mode,
major-mode, or a derived mode (derived from a major-mode).

To change comments to normal weight, I utilise set-face-attribute.

(set-face-attribute 'font-lock-comment-face nil :weight 'normal))

Perhaps using face-remap-add-relative has advantages.  What would you recommend?

(face-remap-add-relative 'font-lock-comment-face :weight 'normal))

I think that face-remap gives buffer-local changes.  Would this be appropriate?
