edit: just updated the relevant FAQ entry. it was indeed out of date. i should probably review all of them, now that Cataclysm is out.
edit: as well, i updated the bugs these users filed earlier.

Blizzard doesn't allow hiding individual nameplates in combat (same for disabling the mouse and a couple of other basic things; all of it is precluded by the Blizzard UI).
the workaround is to set nameplate alpha to zero (0) on individual nameplates. Blizzard (currently) allows this. the nameplates are still "there", and can interfere with click-through in certain circumstances, but they are indeed not visible.
Aloft's "Visibility" options offer settings for "hiding" via nameplate alpha. however, you need to enable the AloftAlpha module in order to access those Visibility settings (and for them to take effect).
sorry for the confusion. i remember working with the users several months ago on these issues, but this might not be obvious to more recent users (i should probably enhance the Aloft
FAQ on this, if i have not already).
hope that helps.
