(I still intend to stay out of this thread, for the most part...)
FWIW, wrt the discussion about handling properties, e.g., yanking
or not etc.:
Two little commands from library `highlight.el' let you copy/paste
text properties from/to the active region: `hlt-copy-props' and
`hlt-yank-props'. And command `hlt-mouse-copy-props' copies them
from the mouse pointer position (i.e., point & copy).
If you use the mouse to select the region (not necessary, just
an example) then this is like using the little "paintbrush" tool
in some applications (e.g. MS Office apps).
Except that you can keep pasting the same properties here and
there; no need to copy again. And undo works normally, removing
the pasted properties. And you can control which text properties
get copied, both by option and on the fly.
