The first step would be to port khtml's RenderWidget to use the KTextEditor interface,
so that any text editor can be used there.

The second step is to implement a KTextEditor for XEmacs ... Kalle and I started
long ago, but didn't get very far (so it's not even published anywhere). Hmm, in fact
what we did was more like starting to add a lisp interpreter to kate or any 
ktexteditor-capable editor, to be able to use all the lisp stuff we have. After all
it's that which makes xemacs powerful, not the way it actually renders text.
