You've got me on my hobbyhorse :-) Both emacs and (el)vi(m)(s), iirc, 
allow multiple edit windows on the same document. Okay, Michael has said 
with Writer's then current - I don't know how much it's been cleaned up 
since then - internals that is pretty much impossible. But if we can get 
multiple windows on the one document, then implementing WordPerfect's 
"reveal codes" mode should be incredibly simple - just have one window 
in wysiwyg mode, and the other in markup mode.

Pull that off, and you'll have all the old greybeard WP power users 
crying in delight ...

Cheers,
