So it sounds like you suggest there are actually 3 things here to work on:

 1) Using re-highlighting as a way of "undoing" previous highlighting
 2) Being able to easily select accidently-highlighted text for cleanup

As for 1, it sounds like we're in agreement but "undoing" should entail
restoring the previous highlighting choice. So why not utilize the undo stack
and instead of clearing any highlighting actually just undo the highlighting
and restoring the previous highlighted color? This may be difficult as the text
selection would be part of the undo stack save, but this is effectively what we
want to achieve.

And as for 2, adding the shift-double-click for range selection of content
already styled the same was as the current tool selection would definitely be
useful. I also see it being helpful to apply it to any similar tools, like the
font color, as you propose.

So I actually see both of these as independent issues, though both help a user
fix the accidental-over-highlighting problem.

And just as a side-note, Word 2010 does not remember previous highlighting
states, it just clears to no-highlighting when re-highlighting.
