Worst-case they’ll just lose unsaved changes (if TextMate is quit and the cache is deleted).

As for storing extracted scopes per document; this would also mean adding a scope selector field to Find in Folder would be much cheaper (when there is cached info) so I am very much onboard with this, though somewhat down the list — might look into it when I eventually get around to optimizing syntax highlight performance.
