The problem is that FlowDocument is a visual element, so if you take 
bits of it and put them in another visual element then they aren't going 
to be shown in the other one.

IronPython does a lot to make .NET collections behave as Python 
collections (you can use the in operator, the del operator etc), but it 
doesn't change their fundamental behavior.

All the best,
