Something I think all word processing spell checkers should have an option for:
A network link to www.oed.com or www.m-w.com for both spelling and thesaurus. If the checker doesn't have a local copy in its database, go online before asking me because if I go there and find it, I'm not too happy about having done that.

Don't grey box my graphics. Make features that work on one platform work on the others. If I can import EPS under Solaris and see the result, I should be able to do the same in Windows. If I can import pdf in Windows and see the result, but not in Solaris, that's not acceptable. If I import either in either, but can't rotate the figure without getting a grey box, that's not acceptable.

A universal equation import/export mechanism. Might need industry collaberation. It's a bit of a hassle to get nice looking equations in Frame that have to be retyped into Mathematica the way they like it, retyped into matlab the way they like it, retyped to fit C code, retyped in MS equation editor for Powerpoint slides... etc. Exporting them as images is one thing, but I need them to be functional.

The last thing I'd suggest may already be possible, but I don't know how to do it. After importing graphics into an anchored frame, and overlaying graphics, and/or equation elements, I'd like to send the entire contents of that anchored frame out to PS file.... Essentially, I want to be able to solidify the contents of any given frame to it's own file for external manipulation if necessary.
