Not really. That's what the KoView is for: one document can be shown in
two views.

A mainwindow can contain more than one view (e.g. when using the "split view"
feature), and/or the views of the same document can be in separate main windows.

So the real doc/view architecture is between KoDocument and KoView (surprisingly).
KoMainWindow is "simply" the mainwindow around the view.

Whoooops. This is wrong now (has been for a very long time). Fixed.

There isn't.

Apps reimplement KoDocument and KoView. But the mainwindow is the same class
for all, since it doesn't have any app-specific stuff (its GUI, i.e. menus and toolbars,
are provided by
1) itself (the standard stuff like the File and Help menus)
2) the document's actions
3) the view's actions
).
