specifier.c and there seems to be no code that actually uses this. The

Can any specifier have ghost specifications added to it? How would I go
about making the foreground and background of a face be tied to a ghost
specifier that would look up the right thing dynamically in the window
system?
Specifiers have always made me a bit queasy when you hit the big magic.

mail, you _will_ get a response, but please be patient, especially for
XEmacs-related mail. If you need an immediate response and it is not
apparent in your message, please say so. Thanks for your understanding.
