In some situations they probably should be written into the outline of the Leo file in question where they can be edited as plain text. In other cases you probably want the dict like creatures c.db and g.app.db, .leo specific and global respectively. Note that c.db doesn't exist until the files been saved to a specific name. These are probably what you were thinking of in terms of caching, they're related to the caching machinery, I think it uses them as well, they're not the outline caches exactly, perhaps the storages mechanism for the outline caches.
