ok,
it's been few days and I've got few more comments to the proposal:

could we start from syntax highlighting? if it starts working, we'll get such 
functionality like e.g. Vim - already enough to get noticed by users!
It will also help resolve smaller issues, like detecting php blocks. E.g. php 
file can have html, css, php, js mixed together. We want different highlighers 
to take their own blocks. (I guess that depends on Orion a lot)
Next - syntax validation and marking errors - this will give us some parser so 
it will set us for further work, e.g. on context assist, refactorings etc.

Implementation should be flexible, to easily change underlying mechanisms.
For example, let's launch highlighting service 
(http://www.eclipse.org/pdt/tools/highlighter) with simple text input, that 
just shows highlighting. (layer 1)
Next, add API (layer 2)
Next add API-Orion integration (layer 3)

With such config, it'll be easy to test layer 1 or switch different impls of 
layer 1 and we can work on it at the same time as layer 3 (which will require 
Orion team interaction).
Maybe even there's already highligher service, so we could avoid implementing 
layer 1? :-)

I just accepted your mentor request. You're good to go.
