But the routing is built only when visiting some pages or after  
emptying the cache.  It isn't built dynamically from hook_menu so  
therefore even though you call it routing that table and not the  
result of hook_menu is what is used to create the dynamic links on the  
pages.  During development of a module, if I add a menu item without  
visiting the menu page I don't get to see the menu unless I empty the  
cache.  Therefore I call it a cache (right or wrong) since I see the  
results of the new menu item after clearing that cache.

I don't think the idea bad, on the contrary it is very good.  It just  
needs a new understanding of the functionality.  What I miss though is  
some method to dynamically change the menu item before the page is  
displayed.
