I would also be concerned about the fact that not doing that would not 
display subtitles.
And it is the case.
I donot know for VERY LONG lists (say some 100 elements), but for most 
lists I saw, this seems to be ok.
Paginating lists would be a valuable enhancement.
And using XSLT on a record collection could also be a way to ease, 
standardize, and boost the lists display.
