AFAIR, the use cases presented so far involved adding highlighting-like
information in Org files. If the overlays are generated consistently
based on the user's setup, it doesn't matter if they are non-permanent
(as in not part of the Org file, but dependent on the Emacs setup
instead). Of course this means the highlighting information will not be
portable; but I don't think people mind that.
I personally do not find any use for the feature as such; although it
might be interesting to be able to insert plain text cookies in Org
files and have them highlighted in some fashion. I could then use a
list of ideas like this:
Some topic ...
1. Idea 1
2. Idea 2 (?)
where I'm doubtful about idea (2); having (?) highlighted would remind
me of that. Just an idea.
:)
