I also came close to proposing that idea, but held back on it, because that way, we lose the option to store a "clean" version in the database.

While the "new way" would be much more flexible, it also requires re-rendering of the format into HTML on each load from the database. I don't know how much of the re-rendering is currently done, so maybe there is no additional hit, and maybe the caching is already aggressive enough to allow this.

Replacing the node 'as typed' in the DB with some cleaned up version would be a mistake in my book. It is very intollerant of coding mistakes or even allowing improvements, and it often isn't nice to the author. Caching a cleaned copy in addition to the original is fine (but we don't do it and I doubt it'd be a big win just yet) -- and this is possible with the scheme I proposed. - tye	[reply]
