You can keep the backing data store synchronized with the data in both the
braille and text view using the methods in the extended modify listener. Both
views will probably need to share an undo/redo stack in order to ensure the
integrity of the data.

The StyledText widget does not by default present a View of an underlying
document in the MVC sense. It works with a physical copy of the text of the
underlying document that it has obtained via its setText method.
If you really want a proper MVC View, then, as I tried to make clear
yesterday, you need to define your own content model (which has to satisfy
the StyledTextContent interface) and use the StyledText setContent method to
tell the widget to use your content model rather than its default.
There are probably more sophisticated ways of doing this with JFace since I
think that Eclipse itself uses a true MVC paradigm.
