There are obviously still a large number of dictionaries still not

Also remember to include the dictionaries that were released, but
never made it into the official OOo dictionary list. (At least one
set looks like it won't be migratable to extension format.)
This is exactly where i'm coming from. Even if the OOo team covers
100% of all national and ethnic languages, there are still gobs of
dictionaries for scientific/academic/whatever use that apparently
aren't being converted for use by OOo 3.0. Many of them have been
created and released 'into the wild' as freeware .dic files, but the
creator can't or won't take the time to publish them in the new
format. I guess the take home message from this is that if you need
to use a certain dictionary [chemistry, for example] to write your
paper, then you need to find another word processor.
