Interesting -- and reassuring!

We picked up the idea from VisualEditor, which uses a similar linear
structure to allow diff storage and text splicing:
 https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor/Software_design#Data_Structures

Two places where we are aware of issues are links (<a href ...>) and
directionality boundaries (<span dir=....>), both of which work differently
if you split them. The actual data structure we use is slightly different
because of this.

Thanks,
