I'm not going to implement this for awhile, anyway as I'm doing other 
things... But i'll keep this idea on the backburner ;)

Both.  If the document is the activeDocument (ie, it has focus and is 
currently shown) then it grabs the text from the open KTextEditor.  If it is 
not shown, then it won't be parsed except for on app start-up in which case 
it grabs the text from disk.  Once the document becomes active, it uses 
KTextEditor like above.
