Well, it would be much better if it was possible to use only _one_ knowledge-
source to get a consistent source-formatting. The only formatting-related 
thing that kate really does is indentation when pressing "return". Ideally 
we'd have a way of letting the source-formatter override that functionality 
somehow, somewhen in the future.

We could also implement some simple on-the-fly formatting easily at some point 
in the future, using the "partial formatting" stuff that already exists in the 
API. We could just track inserted lines, and reformat them as soon as the user 
presses "return" to get into the next line.

That's all interesting stuff, maybe something for 4.1 or 4.2. Now we should 
just concentrate on bringing back the basic functionality that was there.
