No, KSpread's (X)Emacs support doesn't use any KOM and/or OpenParts
technology.

But in regard to a componentificated text editor I suggest having a look
at KWrite:
- KWrite is based on the document view model (making adaptions to
  OpenParts's document view model easier IMO)
- is seems to be very good (!) documented

I once thought seriously about making KWrite a set of nice components
(also in regard to a possible Konqueror integration) and I started writing
an IDL for it, maybe you're interested in it? (if it is not already lost
on my harddisk ;)

What does the KWrite author think of all this?

Greetings,
 Simon
