This sounds interesting, and the proposal is clear and nice. Can you think of concrete examples where it would things much easier for package developers (your example with 'invisible is nice)?
I can think of one, if I understand correctly. Currently, if one want font-lock to apply properties other tan face, then one must add these properties to font-lock-extra-managed-props — and then font-lock will remove these properties indiscriminately, regardless of where they came from. This makes things difficult sometimes. With your proposal, these attributes could be tucked in a face. On the other hand, one could imagine font-lock being smarter and removing only the properties that it added.
I wonder if your suggestion could be generalized. Fundamentally, is there a good reason to have a distinction between face properties and text properties ? Then faces would work in a similar fashion to overlay categories (a quick way to set consistent properties on many chunks of text)
Clément.
