I have a similar feeling, since the blinking time is different for
every processor, and in some cases the slow blink of ons terminal is similar
to the fast blink of another terminal, so I am not sure if it is a good
idea have two different speeds of use only one.

The struck attribute is used a lot of times, for example for getting
underlined words or for getting bold characters.
