FWIW, wrt the discussion about handling properties, e.g., yanking or not etc.: Two little commands from library `highlight.el' let you copy/paste text properties from/to the active region: `hlt-copy-props' and `hlt-yank-props'. And command `hlt-mouse-copy-props' copies them from the mouse pointer position (i.e., point & copy). If you use the mouse to select the region (not necessary, just an example) then this is like using the little "paintbrush" tool in some applications (e.g. MS Office apps). Except that you can keep pasting the same properties here and there; no need to copy again. And undo works normally, removing the pasted properties. And you can control which text properties get copied, both by option and on the fly. http://www.emacswiki.org/HighlightLibrary#toc6
