Thanks Alan:

I've been very careful in not expecting a toe-to-toe Word or
WordPerfect equivalent in AbiWord, rather I'd imagine that a reasonable
"functional parity target" for AbiWord to aim for is Nisus Express
(Mac), which is marvelously complete for a basic WP but laced with bugs
and quirks. The recommendations I posed fall into Nisus's capabilities.
AbiWord already surpasses Mariner Write in capabilities - not an easy
thing to do, so knocking on Nisus's door I think would definitely be a
open source WP showstopper.
