I agree that if org-emphasize handled marker visibility states in a DWIM fashion, then a user should not need to display them, but why do you believe they shouldn't have the opportunity, especially given that this is the exact behavior of prettify-symbols-mode? Could you walk me through, in your proposed DWIM system, how a user should be able to remove or change emphasis markers after they are rendered and hidden? Shankar
