No, I don't think it's a big problem for performance. You could start a new course category for each semester, for example.
Another approach that some people do is to copy the entire site to a new Moodle instance every year or semester, so that they might have http://mysite/2008 and http://mysite/2009 etc.
This makes a series of working snapshots for each year, which can be useful as a record.
Of course your licensing fees will multiply rapidly. To run 10 Moodles will cost you $0.00 x 10 = $0.00.

Yay, Lei, great to see people starting to see the potential of the new themes for some radical reworking of the interface!
1) These text formats have been in Moodle for years
They are very useful ways of writing text without the heavy HTML editor (and currently for iPads that's all we have!)

2) In 2.0 the "Manage files used by editor" is supposed to let you manage the files associated with that current text.
For example, say you edit some HTML using the editor, and add a bunch of images to it, and then later delete the images from the HTML. Those images are now sitting in the Moodle database connected to that text, but there is no way to "see" them or delete those files. I agree that generally no-one cares about such things, so this link should be very small and unobtrusive.

Probably yes. I suppose it might not fit in to every design.
I'll ping Patrick about it anyway.
