If the text is displayed differently due to loss of the composition property, would it still be readable by those who know the language? If not, then removing the composition property _does_ have the effect of changing the text _as_i_is_displayed_to_the_user_. > I don't understand why `composition' property is that > special compared with other properties such as `display', > `fill-space'. I think those are special as well, but I may be wrong.
