Well, I first strive for having a paragraph class which:

- is human-readable
- has a pylint coefficient of => 7.5/10 (instead of the current
   value of 0.75/10 for RL's paragraph.py ;-)
- has hyphenation
- has inline images, and
- has an extension mechanism for custom tags

Once I'll have that I'll come back to you for ideas on performance.
;-)

Dinu
