:-) Sounds awfully a lot like LyX. (a project that Matthias started
about two years ago) Except that we don't aim at WYSIWYG, bu settles
with WYSIWYM (...Mean) To make a really WYSIWYG frontend to (La)TeX
you must probably duplicate most of the code in TeX (hypenation, break
of paragraphs)

We are now about to enter a new development phases, where the main
goal is to switch to a subset of LaTeX as the file format.
