There is no way currently to receive deltas from the model (each stylesheet being completely rebuilt when a change happens). I was wondering about the possibility of an EMF model, but thats as far as I got (thinking about it).

Well, currently the outline is only for the current Stylesheet.  That is 
the way it works for java and other editors.  Since it doesn't go beyond 
the current stylesheet it could work off the existing DOM model that is 
in the editor.   This way it only listens for the changes that occurred 
in the existing editor.

I agree that we may want to relook at using EMF for the total model of 
the XSLT (we can generate the model from the XSLT Schemas).

Well, if we can't do it for M6, then we probably have to hold off until 
after Galileo is out as M7 and the release candidates are supposed to be 
for performance and bug fixes only.   We may not want to expose the view 
to the user at all until we are more comfortable with it.
