As my comments #0 and #2 already said, hidden characters could provide more
than additional formatting marks!

But in facts of documentation take this simple use case:
1. A new LO user write some text, choose "Format"->"Character..." and than
"Hidden"
Two effects can apply:
2.a Formatting marks aren't enabled and the selected characters turns actually
hidden:
 -> the user is satisfied and continue his work, using LO help only to learn
how to uncover the hidden characters
2.b Formatting marks are enabled and the characters are still visible after
editing:
 -> the user doesn't consult the documentation but turns disappointed by taking
the behavior as a bug

I don't thing any user aspect hidden characters to be bound to formatting
marks, especially not users who are aware of hidden cells in e.g. MS Excel. But
as I already said, hidden characters should become much more than additional
formatting marks!
