Does syntax highlighting need more that a token stream? Without having thought a lot about it, it seems to me IDE tend to highlight based just on the token type, not on a parse tree. So that means your lexer can be used directly by interested people, that's nice.
Some IDE's do a more advanced syntax highlighting based on the semantic analysis. For example, Eclipse highlights instance variables differently.
