I have not yet written any line for abiword, but I am very interested by
object embedding. I am full time chemistry teacher and I need to produce
documents with some chemistry inside. At the moment, when using abiword,
I use png files as the best available option, but printing is of very
poor quality (OOo supports eps which is better for printing but much
uses more memory).
I am ready to spend some time on objects implementation even if I am
already involved it too many projects.

Best regards,

Jean Bréfort

P.S. abiword crashed when I tried to open the features file.
