Might be too difficult and too big. Maybe we should wait for a) results of 
the BibleTechConference and b) for Qt3. The Richtext stuff will then be good 
and usable, especially extending it.

I'd disagree. Just leave it for now, it's working well. I can imagine we will 
have some other backends in future (sermon editing, morphological things, 
maps ...). We should leave it open imo.

Maybe we should think about working in sword code to speed up the process. 
But I guess I am not good enough.   :(
