I played around with your idea, storing informations from each agenda
view in a variable `org-agenda-listing' -- which is kind of a "cache"
for agendas.

While the idea is neat, the implementation has to be careful of keeping
old agenda views in sync with the state of the .org buffers, as Samuel
correctly pointed out.

I've nothing mature yet in this area, but I'll surely digg again when
the sticky agenda branch is merged.

Please ping us with this idea again after the merge.

Thanks,
