Hi Kevin All your propositions seem reasonnable and valuable for OpenJUMP.
As Stefan said, the main problem is development resources. I cannot evaluate precisely the work to do without a deeper look, but it concerns core classes and will need caution and tests. Are you volonteer to develop these features ?
