After IRC talk with tronical, I have gone away from the view-doc plugins and 
will now support 2 kind of plugins:

1. doc only plugins: no gui, only bound to a document, could for example be a 
plugin doing some background stuff which needs no gui or view

2. view plugins: inherit from doc plugins, are bound to a view of a document + 
have a xmlguiclient for actions and so on.

Both kind of plugins will only supported by editor parts using doc/view model 
(as it seems even the nedit part in kdevelop supports that, should be not to 
hard to get that working with other editors too).
