I have to disagree totally!
Implementing everything into the main program will make it bloated, less usable
for people with limited system resources and those that don't need these
features at all. Have a look at Word.

It would me much smarter to have advanced features such as tables or equations
available as seperate plug-in modules!
Even Word does it for some parts using OLE.

The problem is that there is no such standard data-exchange system for the Amiga.
ARexx helps a bit, but is not very satisfying.

BTW, somebody want to implement OpenDoc for the Amiga? :)
