As i've wrote in former mail, please think one step further, about 
a macro language access to application. The kind of language should be 
a secondary problem; but kparts should offer more functionality for 
access of "kobjects" features than load/save/print: 

 - text plugin:  goto_begin_of_line, insert_date
 - table plugin: fill_row_with_value, summ_of_row
 - image plugin: dither_gray

I don't know if i'm right, whether this should be part of kparts, but
for getting full power of an application, we need a macro language.
Think about a drawing widget, which will be driven by an html rederer
macro - HTML Editor. This is one we could learn by microsoft!
