I thought I would share my results:
Unfortunately RenderX does not support the "visibility" property. To test
the techniques I set the foreground and background color to produce
white-on-white for these "spacing" inlines. This looks fine visually but
the characters are, of course, present in the output PDF. If I really want
to, I can post-process the XEP file removing any such white-on-white text.
Below is a table cell containing the data "$589". This data appears offset
to the left by the width of a close paren. The cell has a double-underline.
The length of the double underline is the length of the string "(23,071"
(widest content in column) and the underline is also offset to the left by
the width of a close paren.
