I think that progress should continue on the basics, agreeing with
Martin. I have to say, that screencast of Uwog's is mighty impressive,
and I can't wait till the code gets to a point that it's stable and good
to go - this is real next-gen stuff.

For the accessibility angle, a simple shape (square, circle, star,
triangle) appended to or in place of the caret might be an idea -
preferably selectable by the user who will be represented by it.

Yay AbiWord! :D
