I would accept a really well written implementation of a split view on the same document. It should have minimal effects on the user interface: no permanent splitter using space or complex set of menu commands. A small splitter inside the scroll bar area as used in other applications such as Visual Studio would be OK. This would be a significant amount of work as it would require either sharing space with Scintilla, replacing Scintilla's scroll bar with a container provided scroll bar, or modifying Scintilla to include some splitter functionality. There would also be cross-platform issues as I expect this would be more complex on GTK+. A second visible file breaks the essential simplicity of SciTE. If you want to do this, start a new project.
