I agree.

Thanks for pointing out the problem with subdocuments. I never used 
multi-file documents, so this just could not occur to me.

I do not think so, but maybe I'm missing it too.

Given the problematic stability of TeXmacs at the moment, I seriously doubt 
of it ;-) But I personnaly do use this pattern for several programs (among 
whose is Emacs). Last time I shut my desktop down, it had 1 month uptime. Ok 
I restarted KDE several times in the interval, but that's the idea.
