How about formating ? 8-)
This one been on the back burner for sometimes and push to the sidelines.
For example JDT does formating internally or via a contribution.  So
if someone provide an implementation for the CodeFormat extension point
It could be pickup and use by the Editor.

how about to do the same for CDT and maybe provide an implementation
that spawns "GNU indent" suprisingly I did not find any C format in Java!

The other areas you mention are fine, but you might want to send an email
first to reduce the probably of clashing.
