clip of dot underline indicator for exposed hidden text

@Jay, *

Is this even valid? Hidden text is indicated when exposed by the formatting
marks toggle.

On Windows 8.1 Ent 64-bit en-US with 
Version: 5.3.3.2 (x64)
Build ID: 3d9a8b4b4e538a85e0782bd6c2d430bafe583448
CPU Threads: 8; OS Version: Windows 6.29; UI Render: default; Layout Engine:
new; 
Locale: en-US (en_US); Calc: group

and with

Version: 5.4.0.0.alpha1+ (x64)
Build ID: d33e262a244f351febc9dbe605b05f76cb834eeb
CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 6.29; UI render: GL; 
TinderBox: Win-x86_64@62-TDF, Branch:MASTER, Time: 2017-05-08_01:51:26
Locale: en-US (en_US); Calc: CL

A screen clip of text with the "Hidden" Character dialog -> Font Effects
attribute, shows with dotted underline when exposed with the Tools -> Options
-> LibreOffice Writer -> Formatting Adis "Hidden text" check box enabled and
Formatting Marks enabled.

Seems i must have been confused with either 'Fields: Hidden Paragraphs' or
'Fields: Hidden Text' thinking it was hidden text, as the dotted underlines
have been there since 3.3.

Okay, I understand the non-printable argument. Is there any other use case
beyond that? I mean why is the text hidden in Writer when its relevant on the
export whether or not those parts should be shown?

I not sure why people use hidden text, but i've read bug reports where hidden
text is talked about. @Cor, @Stuart, @Regina, @Sophie: any thoughts on why
people use hidden text?

Initially i thought that we could highlight the hidden text with the color used
for formatting marks, but that would overwrite the original text color.

May I ask here about the use case for hidden text? Some requests recently but
no clear scenario, AFAIS.
