As mentioned yesterday, I'm determined to figure out what it'll take to get
fields implemented. As a first step, this has meant scrolling back through
the past 6 months of abiword-dev to pull out all of the relevant design
discussions.

It's a lot to wade through, and since the email archives currently aren't
searchable, I figured it'd be worth summarizing the relevant threads as
follows:

  - Known bugs in the existing implementation
  - File format issues
  - Miscellaneous design details
  - Proposed designs on the table
  - Related issues for later

(For sanity's sake, I'll send each as a separate message.)

If anyone's aware of anything I've omitted above, please speak up.
Otherwise, I plan to just crunch through all this material and see what I
can come up with.

Thanks,
Paul
