The help text for the org.eclipse.ui.actionSets extension point describes that enablement and visibility are interchangable. 

"... An action's enablement and/or visibility can be defined using the elements enablement and visibility respectively. ... "

But when I tried to use visibility in place of enablement, first of all PDE gave me a warning, and then when I ran it it didn't work, the element remained visable. 

Here is a fragment from my plugin.xml:

         <action
               label="%Action.snapshot.memory"
               helpContextId="memory-action"
               tooltip="%Tip.snapshot.memory"
               class="org.eclipse.perfmsr.ui.actions.SnapshotMemory"
               menubarPath="org.eclipse.perfmsr.menu/snapshots"
               id="org.eclipse.perfmsr.ui.SnapshotMemory">
               <visibility>
                 <not>
                   <systemProperty name='os.name' value='Linux'/>
                 </not>
               </visibility>
         </action>
