I think we should wait until this firms up in use.

After a brief look at the code, I note that spans are a doubly-linked list -- good for add/remove and traversal.  Cursor and selection positions are by line position in the "string" of text.  We could easily replace this reference at any time with Ropes.

No bit surprises. [This is good ;^].
