It would also be extremely useful to be have a syllable count dictionary.  
European laws introduce new legislation that basically says that documents 
must be readable by those for whom they are intended.  One side effect of 
this is that readability analysis almost a requirement.  MS Word has this 
built in.  (You have to enable in the options, then its under 
file->properties.)

 It's easy to code (I coded several of the popular algorithms for openoffice 
once), but it requires the spell checking to return the number of syllables 
in a word.
