Folks, can we move that discussion elsewhere? The poor developers that later on
will work on that issue will have problems to find relevant information in this
"chat".

It's clear that 64KB for a paragraph is not enough and the OOo UNO API already
uses 32Bit whereever text is retrieved from a text object (e.g. paragraphs,
portions, selections etc.). This is not related to how a paragraph stores its
text internally. This way how the text is stored in the implementation is not
the problem of this issue. 

We have an *internal C++ API* that is limited to 16Bit and *this* must be fixed.
And the problem is that this API is so widespread in OOo. 

The *external API* (UNO API) uses 32Bit and this will not be changed without a
valid reason. The ability to store the whole Encyclopedia Britannica, the
Wikepedia and the whole Google cache into a single paragraph is *not* a valid
reason.

So please try to add only comments that describe new, currently unknown
situations where the 64KB limit bites users (situations that are not described
in this issue or its duplicates). Thank you.
