I notice that ABIWord is scheduled to use Javascript scripting. I would
like to beg that you either use Python as KOffice does or (even better)
use a technology that will allow multiple scripting languages to be
plugged in (CORBA or some future variant of COM/XPCOM?).

JavaScript is just so painful and Python is so beautiful.

No, I probably won't back up this suggestion with code. It is just a
suggestion and you are free to take it or leave it.
