Would you say this is on the TODO list for Emacs 24.x, 25.x, or "some day"? >> Are there packages that set `display' without letting font-lock >> manage it?

OK, so it's typically not an issue today but could become a problem. >> My previous question remains: is this serious enough that epoch-view.el >> should not go in the GNU ELPA until it's fixed, or is it a minor bug I >> can work on later?

Then I'll work on it sooner or later depending on how soon you think the multiple property support will happen. Thanks for your patience. Ted
