Hmmm.. Perhaps. KHTML basically has all the functionality for it. So
we get it almost for free.

I guess it should be renamed to PLAINTEXT, since this is an old HTML-tag
which does about the same.

The only problem I can see is that it's not very memory efficient.
Looking at a 700Kb file takes 2.1Mb of memory.
On the plus side, it would be quite easy to view files with
different charsets, including true unicode. (Although for plain
text-files the charset-detection will most likely not work)
