Agreed.  It would be cool to see a full feature suite on the web.

It would be cool, yes, but would it be something that anybody really
wants or needs?

IMHO it is too much for a fun project (been there, done that!) but OTOH
where's the business model to make such a development attractive so that
anybody would want to throw money on it? How many people would *pay* for
using a Web based Office Suite? How many people would like to do serious
Office work in a browser despite all the possible problems (privacy,
security, user interface deficiencies, stability, performance, latency
etc.)?

Thin Clients will greatly welcome an office suite. Also a web-centric office suite put much more push towards intgretation, live content, webservices, accesibility on different platforms, and well all the things that so far blogs have done to on-line content.
