i think the intention was that a certain customer extension could use 
these flags to conditionally hide a range of text.

the implementation has a few rough edges currently, but it's likely that 
we'll be able to polish it in the medium-term future.

generally the idea is that you can put a condition onto a bookmark which 
will then be evaluated and if the condition evaluates true the text 
range that is selected by the bookmark will be hidden in the document view.

i'm not sure why it's extra flags on a bookmark instead of something 
new, but probably there was a reason why this became a requirement.
