In that case, it really doesn't matter to Plasma Active which way you 
choose. As Marco Martin put it (but forgot to CC calligra-devel):

"as long as when one clicks on a file and gets it open in the right ui,
whatever of the two waysdoesn't really matter.

btw i think a sensible way would be putting all the "logic" 
functionality (ho ui besides document rendering tough) in the 
components, so in the end if is done in a  single executable or multiple 
metters even less"
