+** Fix the kill/yank treatment of invisible text.  At the moment,
   invisible text is placed in the kill-ring, so that the contents of
   the ring may not correspond to the text as displayed to the user. It
   ought to be possible to omit text which is invisible (due to a
   text-property, overlay, or selective display) from the kill-ring.
 
+** battery.el display-battery should be replaced with a minor mode.
