It's a shame it works like that rather than parsing the Kate XML  
syntax definitions on demand.

What would be really nice would be an implementation of the TextMate  
syntax highlighter that handles nested languages gracefully. It makes  
PHP slightly less unbearable when you're working with a file that  
contains HTML, PHP /and/ Javascript and the editor handles them all  
correctly.
