Like any unimplemented feature, there've been a lot of open design issues
which we've hoped that a good fields implementation would help address. For
the sake of completeness, I'm listing them below. However, I don't plan to
address any of these issues until we've got a concrete fields design on the
table to look at.

The following is a summary of design issues which probably ARE related to
what we plan on doing with fields.

  AutoNum and Fields

The following design issues may be related to fields, but I'm not currently
sure:

  Calculated sections
  -------------------

  Martin: groups also useful for lists, tables?
  ----------------------------------------------
  http://www.abisource.com/mailinglists/abiword-dev/00/April/0062.html

The following are probably *NOT* related to the fields work, although at
first glance they seemed to be.

  Embedded math
