Well, for simplification in this circuit, you can assume that there are
LED's rated at 5V, since you can go to Digikey and get a single component
called an LED with a rating of 5V.  Just call me Mr. Technicality. :-)

Why do you say the low-side drivers are stronger than the high-side
drivers?  The 16F87x datasheets say that the max current sourced by
an I/O pin = 25ma, and is the same as that sunk by any pin.  Is
there more that matters here in an LED circuit?
