That is a good idea.

At least for the Gnome front end this would be quite easy once we get
bonobo support. Then we get scripting from outside Abi for free and the
whole gnome infrastructre which includes easy connectivity to both
spreadsheets and databases. Actually once this is in place I would
interested in scripting some MS Works like features like Envolope and
label printing.
As I said this is very easy once bonobo is in place.
