I just read about Microsoft's Language Server Protocol[*], ie. a
protocol that Visual Studio uses to communicate with servers that
provide language (C++/Javascript etc) specific support for things like
"goto definition" in the editor.
This seems like a good approach for editor integration. What do you
think, could/should Kawa include a server for this protocol?

It's certainly worth considering. I'd look at existing support
for JVM languages - maybe Java itself:
https://github.com/georgewfraser/vscode-javac
However, that seems to be javac API, so it may only be useful
in terms of concepts.
This might be more useful:
https://github.com/TypeFox/ls-api/tree/master/io.typefox.lsapi/src/main/java/io/typefox/lsapi
It would be even more useful to find a language implementation that uses the
above library.
