I'm aware of the difference between the two properties.  My question is,
when do we prefer one or the other?  My impression is that
font-lock-face should be preferred wherever it makes sense, as its
display can be toggled.

Not that I'm arguing for switching to font-lock-face in this case; that
could be done another time.  I was just wondering out loud.
