--- Comment #9 from Marcin MiƂkowski <[email protected]> ---
Well, I don't understand why you're saying that there is no use case for
internal codes, as there are numerous things that a grammar checker could
check. Note that grammar checkers are not really *grammar* checkers but also
typography checkers, style checkers, in general, they are smart proofreading
tools. So one could, for example, use a grammar checker to see whether
References in a scientific paper are formatted according to a given style
guide, but for that, access to general formatting attributes would be required. 

Let me give a real-life example. In Polish, official spelling rules require
that names of journals, weeklies, newspapers etc. are written in quotation
marks, and many people make a mistake of writing them in italics. Now, we can
check whether there are quotation marks but we cannot see whether the title is
still in italics. And it's a very mechanical thing we could easily check with
LanguageTool if we knew what part is in italics.

Also, we really miss a way to access the info whether a given piece of
information is part of the bullet point (we try to work around this but the
rule that capitalizes the start of the sentence may give false alarms).

This is why I think d) is the way to go, as we'll need more info to get really
nice proofreading.
