I somehow agree: An editor component would be very useful, that's sure!

But in case of Konqueror I think it's sufficient to have a builtin viewer
(and just like every feature: turn it of if you don't want it) with the
following advantages:
 a) fast
 b) small, simple
 c) not bloated (QMultiLineEdit is your friend :)
   (for example I don't think we really need syntax highlighting for fast
    text viewing in konqy. Well, of course it would be nice, but is it
    really important? opinions are welcome :)

And, just to remark: Although I already implemented a simple builtin text
viewer this doesn't mean I want to stop this discussion: I wouldn't mind
anyone if we remove it again and go the general plugin way, it's just
meant as demonstration :)
