Alternative to OTR long text

Hello,

does anyone know a good and working alternative to OTR Long texts?

I don't know why SAP developed the behavior of <OTR> tag as it is. The usage of this tag is really a pain and a totally waste of time (my opinion).

I use htmlb:textView to show OTR Long text. Each time I modify the page (not the text), also if I just edit an other Element of the page, the Environment creates a new GUID for Long text. So I get tons of unused Long text references in SOTR_EDIT.

How do you handle Long text in multi-language environments?
