Now adding support for underlines (including wavy ones) then putting spell-checking on top of it: that's something to sink your teeth into.
Wait, spellchecking must use a different underlining - purely a canvas item, with nothing added to SVG.
Incidentally, do we want to think about freeing up the Ctrl-U keystroke at some point?
Why? It may easily have a different action in Text tool than elsewhere, as e.g. Ctrl+B does now.
I'm not sure that fractions/equations are a core feature of text layout. They seem to me to be more like tables (non-HTML ones, that is): something to be put on top of layout rather than tightly-coupled. This brings up the whole foreignObject can of worms as well, for integrating MathML/HTML neatly.
Since yesterday, we have an extension that takes a TeX formula and produces a vector object out of it (requires latex, dvips and pstoedit to be installed). Check it out, it's very nice.
