The plan to create the library under koffice/kformula, with a wrapper part around it,
sounds VERY good to me, if you're using that the libkformula isn't what you'd like
it to be. 
Plan sounds great, go ahead ! :)

BTW I volunteer to help integrating the future kformula library with the 
future KWord :-)
