Yes, definitely. One of my near-term goals is to provide a shared library with a stable API that takes care of most of the work a client would need to do. A longer-term goal is to do the same for a server. > Also as Ankur says localization (support of multiple languages at > least) would be good too. The original SDK didn't make any allowances for localization, but I definitely want to enable it. The client program (ie Word Processor) does a query to find attributes that have the name of a particular service, such as "Check Spelling". I think the main thing localization would require would be to provide multiple attributes for each given service, with each one being the translated name of a service. There would also need to be a way to indicate which language each service name was expressed in.
