I thought about it but I still do not think we should do anything that 
is non-standard TS. If it is not possible with regular TS, it should not 
be possible in TV. Otherwise we will add more and more things to TV's 
version of TS and it will become a totally different thing.

Usually there is a way to overcome such limitations by using a different 
content object. For example, see thread "Adding page content 
dynamically" here:
http://lists.netfielders.de/pipermail/typo3-english/2006-September/thread.html#29963
It does the thing that is not trivial. Similar things can be used to 
overcome any other limitations.
