 Wouldn't it be nice if for the HTML editor if it had syntax highlighting?
 There is some for editing themes and plugins (codepress, right?) but there
 isn't for the post/page editor.

 Since writing HTML is easier for users using an editor using syntax
 highlighting (this is a bare assumption I do not have any scientific grade
 data about it that would proof it; but I guess that is why syntax
 highlighting is featured in most editors the over recent years).

 Next to the fact that this could be too hard to program/integrate into
 wordpress are there any real reasons against it?
