Following Michael Hoenig's advice ("unanswered questions"), here I am again. 

AIM: check the current API's support for prototyping a grammar-checker API
"externally", i.e. without messing with OOo's source. 

MY QUESTIONS TO API DEVELOPERS REGARDING THE CURRENT API'S CURRENT FEATURES (not
necessary now to answer HOW, just if the following are possible and an idea of
difficulty level) 

1 - Can specific context menus be assigned to specific portions of text?

2 - Can a specific portion of text be assigned a user-defined property, e.g. its
language? My (not new) idea is let the user specify which language(s) they
intend for each portion of text.

3 - Can error underlining (like the curly red one for auto spell-checking) be
assigned to specific portions of text in a way that it would neither (i)
conflict with end users' formatting nor (ii) be printed out eventually?

4 - Is it possible to implement a "service", "component" or whatever might be
plugged-in through the API such that: it _concurrently_ looks for visible text,
breaks visible paragraphs into sentences, checks them for grammar and
_asynchronously_ request the API to perform (1), (2) and (3) above?

Thanks in advance!

Cheers,

Jorge.
