That's good stuff.
The tool should have a 'generate on edit' knob on the representation
chains, so common chains can be pre-generated at the point of editing,
if so required.
Examples where this may be desirable are: process-intensive
transformations which may block the rendering of the representation,
such as a PDF output; or spell-checking where you pass the text through
aspell or similar.
