But why they couldn't have interaction where it makes sense? We have the 
splited view which is an interaction of VPL with source. I'm not sure about 
this specific feature but i think we shouldn't be closed minded in eventual 
interactions and synergy's between different views.

Perhaps we should write documentation, instead of imposing the user to new 
features :)

Is my impression or document structure doesn't work well in VPL? It doesn't 
follow the cursor. I also noticed that when you click a text node in the 
tree, the item goes to a previous/parent non text tag. Why is that?
