I'd very much like for us to design some
IGrammarChecker interface that gets implemented via
this plugin. If done correctly, that gains us at
least:

1) Preference on whether to Grammar Check blocks or
not automatically, much like the automatic spell
checking toggle
2) Support for multiple languages
3) The basis for some grammar-checking dialog, ala
MSWord

We should then move a lot of the code that's currently
in this plugin up into AbiWord proper. I think that
the plugin itself should be fairly stupid with regard
to anything != grammar. This means that some piece of
code in AbiWord proper should intercept the BLKGRAMMAR
Listener::notify() signal, tokenize the sentence
accordingly, and pass it to the appropriate grammar
checking plugin.

Let me know what you think.

Best,
Dom
