I do not understand this.

If we would be able to find the area in the text document that has changed we 
could avoid this. Maybe we need support from the Kate part for this?

What is this?

That is what you say now and not what I am proposing. I would like to think 
about the opposite. The textdocument is the document and the tree is just a 
view.

Maybe, but I think it is worse to investigate this. Maybe the parser is fast 
enough so that this is not a problem at all.

I don't think that what we have now is a good approach ;-)

I am not aware about what Eric wants. And until it is not discussed in the 
public his wishes are non existent for me, sorry. A am not able to take care 
of things I do not know. My abilities of mind reading are unfortunately very 
limited.
