------- Additional Comments from Nikolas Zimmermann <zimmermann at kde.org>
This time with an extensive ChangeLog.
The LayoutTests side of this patch follows soon.

NOTE: Dirk has already reviewed my work during the last weeks, otherwhise I
wouldn't have asked him to review this beast.
I already splitted the patch up before (see the depends section), but I
couldn't split this thing up any further, without landing #if 0 code or lots of
commented stuff with FIXMEs.
Text is really a hairy section, and when changing underlying core concepts
(like removing text chunks & text chunk parts), this affects several hundred k
of code.
