As an addendum to what  Steve has said, the grammar is full of rules  
that give names to things (scopes). In the grammar, this appears as a  
name=... thing. You can basically target those.

In your particular case, the div is matched in the grammar in the  
exact same way as any other tag, so there is no way to color it  
separately, unless you alter the grammar.
