Well, you kinda hafta use the text when all you've _got_ is the text
that's given to you in a link. :) cur_id is used in various places for
intertable joins already (for instance in the links, brokenlinks and
searchindex tables).
The win of separating it would largely be from being able to combine cur
and old _revision_ data into a single table, which would save some
trickery on page save / rename / load / diff / contribs / recentchanges
where we have to deal with two almost-identically-functioning tables.
aside from that, i would like to know if you had any
comments on my
subscriptions feature idea.
I don't know what it is so I don't have any comments...
