[I think RowList won't live forever.] The problem is, LyXText is an insular solution specifically made for the text data. It uses lots of otherwise code 'to make it work' and does not scale too well. So while the idea is sound, the current implementation is not. If there is a kind of row cache, it has to live (at least logically) outside the physical structure of the document data. It must not be some inherent part of the architecture, let alone the only mortar used. Afterall, it's a cache. No more. The only purpose of a cache is to speed up things not to cobble things together.
