Accessing the target element from inside a Binding.converter

Question

Hi, 

I have a situation where I want to highlight a particular list item when it's bound property is equal to its inner text, so something like the following. 

HTML:

<div data-win-bind="style.border:Person.Name MyNamespace.nameHighlighter" >Bob</div>

Javascript: 

winJS.Namespace.define("MyNamespace" {
  nameHighlighter : function(personName) {
      var targetElement; // This is the part I can't get
      if( personName == targetElement.innerText){
          return "2px solid Red";
      }
      else {
          return "1px dashed Black";
      }
  }
  });

So the problem I'm having is I can't get the target element that owns this bind from inside the converter. Is this possible? I have a long list of these person divs and I want them to automatically highlight themselves when the data changes.
