Makeing it possible to modify keyword lists dynamically would be no problem. 
(Creating new lists and itemdata entries/context would be more difficult.)

Post KDE 3.1 feature

For local keyword lists, we would have to introduce a connection between the 
highlighting items and the document they are used with. eg a flag in the 
highlighting item to use a local list and some accesspoint for the 
highlighting parser to a list of keywordlists within the document.

If someone has time, it's a POST KDE 3.1 feature, otherwise a POST KDE 3.2 
feature

Kind regards
