An empty string as display property has the advantage over the invisible
property that it can be made conditional.
That is not what the display property is for. If you want to make
text invisible, use the invisibility property. The display property
is already abused enough as is. There are things like
buffer-invisibility-spec for conditional invisibility.
Sincerely,
Luc.
