The hammer thing is a wrong metaphor from the beginning. Abiword 
is not a caculator, if you want it to do something other than wp,
you have to pay for it. That way, people who use it as a wp would
not pay for you. However small it is, it does not belong to wp.

It's the job of plugin. Otherwise, the same arguement can be used
to any itches everyone want to scratch. And we will get a mozilla,
I mean gazilla soon.

Why you put a hammer in a sewing kit? This toolbox is not that toolbox.
