You might find rfc1345[1] a more useful reference than :digraph for the digraphs you haven't memorized yet. Apart from anything else, if you have it open in a buffer you can at least grep if you can make a good guess for the name of the digraph you're looking for (e.g. UNION).

I have to strongly disagree. It may also help to have proper headers, but I find colour to be an excellent way to distinguish groups in text, and generally prefer it precisely because it doesn't require clutter (i.e. extra characters). I think for the output of :digraph in particular, it would be far more readable for symbols to be grouped, and for groups to be distinguished by colour.
