Blueprint changed by Sergey Davidoff:
Whiteboard changed:
Discussion migrated to full specification
Here's a live demo and screenshot for an HTML/CSS based word processor:

I'm pushing for the note taking app that's been mocked up by hcabaguio;
it fits the elementary HIG, plus its simplicity is beautiful. I'd much
prefer using it over a traditional word processor for 95% of my writing
needs. ~cassidyjames
What about Scratch? ~grzesiek1e5

+ "Scratch" is a text editor, like Gedit, not a text processor like
+ AbiWord. It's not made for that and adapting it for word processing is
+ worse than writing an independent text processor.
