When the external editor is launched, the viewer should write a temporary xml-encoded LLSD file with the current LSL syntax hints (as returned by the LSLSyntax simulator capability) and set the environment variable LSL_SYNTAX_HINTS to point to that file.
Why is this feature important to you? How would it benefit the community?
This would allow any external editor to provide the same kind of up to date syntax hints that the internal editor currently provides.
