But I get your idea. It sounds nice. It possibly has a few problems... for instance, you're display the same text twice on the screen. Seems more than a bit redundant. And if you make the display or markup view collapsible, you get a WYSIWYG editor again.
What I hate in NVU for example, is the way it just plays around with your code. For example the mobi pagebreak code will be changed without any notice to you. Therefore Kovid's idea with the permanent code view seems like a great idea to me. For advanced users, you could easily do a search and paste over the whole file or files and work a lot faster while still seeing the result of your work in real time.
