If I may...  If I understand what Leonid is proposing, it would have no
effect if source caching was not active.  Currently, if source caching
is enabled and a document is fetched from cache that was originally
parsed under settings different from the current settings (if inline
image links have been toggled since you visited that page, for
instance), the document is automatically re-parsed from cached source
under the new settings; if source caching is disabled, the behavior is
unchanged.  AIUI, Leonid is proposing that certaing settings adjustable
from the options menu, like numbers-as-arrows, be treated in the same
manner.
