Yes.

Here's a few (probably not so easy) ones:

        1. Offline composition - unless I missed something, it appears
        that one must be connected semi-live to the various WIT forms
        in order to have a meaningful session.  Of course one could
        cut and paste, but...

        2. Some sort of heirarchical organization - this seems designed
        in, but it might require some human intervention to keep it
        rational.

        3. An email interface - no matter how its designed there will be
        those that can't/won't/don't use it for various reasons.  Maybe
        a script could be written to handle inbound email, HTML-ize it,
        and stuff it into the right place ?  This might also solve other
        silly requirements such as (1) above.
