When are you doing this pushing and popping? The user opens a hundred
megabyte document and scrolls to the bottom. They insert the cursor and
try to close a tag. There is no way to know the context without parsing
from the top in real-time. Plus, you need to deal with documents that
are not well-formed so you can't use a regular XML parser.
I don't mean to say it is rocket science, just that it certainly isn't
as easy as it seems at first.

The sorts of things that Word does are not really comparable. The spell
and grammar checking can lag by several seconds. Plus the state is
entirely local.
I think your machine date is wrong.
