AHA!

XEmacs doesn't have a neat equivalent of the 'display text property,
which GNU Emacs uses to do nifty tricks like replace <lisp>..</lisp>.
I've rearranged the planner-diary recommendations and noted that the
<lisp> method works only for GNU Emacs. Mike, you might want to make a
similar note in emacs-wiki somewhere.

I tried using end-glyph and make-glyph, but no luck. The glyph stayed
around even after I had backspaced into the span.

I'm stumped. Any XEmacs gurus around? Anyone who wants to gain more
familiarity with XEmacs by poking around looking for a way to visually
replace one segment of text with another? Extents are supposed to
handle this...

I'm really sorry about the inconvenience. Could you try the rewriting
approach instead?
