If I were writing a syntax highlighting feature, I wouldn't implement
it as a bot, I would do it as a gadget.  As you say, if it is to work
while the user is typing, then the process that highlights the syntax
needs to know about the keystrokes.  So a robot would have to know
about keystrokes as they come across. That's a lot of network
communication.  However, a gadget can highlight syntax with no extra
network communication.
