Ok, well, I forgot about the lexer part, so I added it in in the same 
way Javascript is, in highlightingmappings.h I added this:
/* QML */
#define highlighting_lexer_QML        SCLEX_CPP
#define highlighting_styles_QML        highlighting_styles_C
static const HLKeyword highlighting_keywords_QML[] =
{
     { 0, "primary",        FALSE },
     { 1, "secondary",    FALSE }
};
#define highlighting_properties_QML    highlighting_properties_C

Which is exactly how JS works in this, it's just using the C lexer. In 
fact I did a global search for 'JS' in all the source files to see where 
it was being added, the only other things I saw were in HTML sections 
(for when it's embedded in HTML). So now, I can really say I can't find 
anything else, I know I'm still missing something, but I just can't find it.
