It doesn't seem like it quite works:
https://grafikrobot.github.io/b2doc/#bbv2.reference.class.abstract-target

- The highlighting of keywords and rulenames seems
  be interfering with each other somehow.
- The comment/keyword/rule colors seem to be the same.

Note: I can send you my emacs mode, which has the highlighting
mostly correct, if that would help.  I'm also willing to
port one of my existing highlighters myself if you can point
me to the system I need to implement.

Also, I dislike javascript based highlighting on principle.
