The two themes should actually be named High Contrast and High Contrast Inverse (compare with Universal Settings). Changing the theme in Appearance should also set the same setting in Universal Settings.

I'd like to suggest that we not set High Contrast themes from Appearance and instead refer individuals to Universal Access where they can set contrast and text size for themselves, as well as providing simple access to other useful accessibility options like Slow Keys or Bounce Keys.
