I've actually been considering WCK as a platform for future development (What I've done so far I consider to be experimental). I've read your article (Fredrik Lundh's, Using Event Trackers to Simplify Tool Implementation) and really think this is a solution for implementing the addition of new kinds of objects.
I've recently written a very small plugin framework which automatically loads all plugins in a path. As the plugin classes are instantiated, they are provided with access to the Model, view widget and a notebook widget (for inserting a custom GUI if applicable). With StyledText, I'm leaning towards a design in which a plugin may also include a pluggable controller. In this way, plugins will be used to add lists, tables, images and other sorts of objects to StyledText. I will periodically update the StyledWidget in the Tkinter wiki as I more towards a final implementation. Thanks for your comments.
