@Michael Stahl:
Thank you very much for looking into this issue! So we now have a much better
understanding of what's going on.

Nevertheless, I am still not sure if there isn't something wrong with this
feature, or, to say it even more polite, something which needs to get improved
about this feature. Therefore I ask you (and everybody else) not to close this
bug yet. To tell exactly what IMHO is wrong about the state of affairs, I will
think some days about it, experiment a bit with this feature, and will then
give you an updated and clear and, if possible, not so lengthy description ;-)

For now, I remove this bug from the MAB list, and ask you for some patience.
Thank you in advance.

If somebody is curious, two hints just to make clear why I think that the state
of affairs is not perfect:

Right ;-) But the same problem also occurs in everyday editing situations, if
you just insert or alter a single character somewhere. At least on MacOS X,
additional spans disable character kerning, and therefore this feature will
cause the text to appear visually inconsistent and with aesthetic defects.

-> For this I will provide some simple samples with real-life background.

Would it be possible to expand this option so that it completely disables the
generation of RSID spans if unchecked? This is all what would be required to
make everybody happy ...
