Joe, I agree 100% with you on this.  While in CODE the editor was pretty 
much the IDE, reality is different in WDSC.  The editor doesn't even own 
the toolbar (to refer to the specific example in here).

While it is relatively easy (all is relative :-)) to change the LPEX 
pop-up menu dynamically, via the "popup" editor parameter, global menus 
and toolbars belong to the workbench, certain operations (such as 
opening a file) belong to the workbench or to the product plug-in, etc. 
etc.  Some things can no longer be accomplished (or at least not 
dynamically) from inside the editor (e.g., certain workbench features 
can only be done via mark-up in a plugin.xml).
