Well, yes, sort of. But that's an even higher latency medium. 

The problem in my mind is still: How do we represent multiple lines of
text with style in the scene graph. I'd like to get some insights into
this.  

The way we do the caching, TeX-linebreaking, have an interface to the
style etc. depend on this decision, so it's not that much use yet to
talk about it first.

I definately don't mind, there's a lot of cruft from when we were just
starting to think about it. Maybe we should also move some things like
the "definition of terms/jargon" to a seperate page as to not clutter
the TextKitDiscussion.
