This is the behaviour I am expecting.  This is what I
circulated in etc/NEWS entry.

    *** Unhighlighting command (`hi-lock-unface-buffer') now un-highlights
    text at point.  When called interactively with C-u, removes all
    highlighting in current buffer.

We seem to be talking too much but not taking a moment to understand to
each other.  I will exchange no more mails with you in this thread,
sorry.  You reply, but with no effort on your part to understand what I
am saying or showing you.  I am happy with whatever you conceive to be
useful.
