I like this also -- but it's slightly different from what I was suggesting.
My suggestion tells you the status of the whole document. Your suggestion
seems to indicate you want the status at the cursor position. Also very
cool, but different.
Under my suggestion, an HTML doc might have a status of "+2 tr, -1 td" to
indicate that you have 2 unclosed tr tags, and 1 unopened td tag (e.g.
"</td>" without a "<td>").
