I wondered that as well, and it's still one of the crazy ideas in my
mind... though there are several problems:
  * it needs to break all the Writer layout code... which is quite a big
spaghetti plate.
  * LaTeX code isn't reusable directly from C++ if I understood that
correctly, but the algorithms have been reimplemented in C++ in TeXmacs,
and the problem there is that this code is GPL and probably more complex
to use from LGPL/MPL code
