Styles sheets at the character level, as well as at the paragraph level.

Variable names for labeling figures etc.

A way to add filter chains (written by third party developers).  e.g.
to make bibliographies etc. in one step instead of with 3 different
programs.

USE FONT NAMES INSTEAD OF FONT NUMBERS IN SAVED FILES, PLEASE.

Make it possible to select 'make backup' the first time you save something,
instead of having to save, and then 'Save As...'

Allow the backups to be on a different disk.

Fix the bugs.  (Is 4.00C out yet?)

Make the equation generator produce decent output.  (The TeX sources
are in the public domain, after all.  There's no reason to use
proprietary technology simply because it's inferior.)

In the command box, have a way of finding out what all the currently
assigned keys do (e.g. you should be able to type a option-clover-control-F1
and have it tell you that that calls the 'Translate to Pig Latin' command.)
