No. It's mostly about KDOM based documents being able to embed other KDOM 
based documents or generic kparts, and forwarding to them the appropriate 
events.

Even ordinary kparts would profit from integrating them more tightly into the 
layout+render process, be it only for proper z-stacking.

That'd be way cool.

This doesn't really pose a problem. Now that kate is getting scripting 
support, I'd love to see it being scriptable as an embedded object, too.
(In kate's case, they could even simulate a simple dom tree:
Document
+ HTMLElement
  + HTMLHead
  + HTMLBody
    + TextNode (containing whole document).
