Composite doesn't change the semantics of visibility at all; so 
applications which change their behaviour in the presence of these events 
will probably not work as desired.

I suspect the best answer we might be able to provide would be to have the 
Composite Manager responsible for computing visibility, but the event 
ordering requirements in the core protocol make that rather impractical.

Alternatively, we could just make them always unobscured; that should be 
easy.
