to do for Bean:

for 1.4

• load all control labels at runtime as localized strings (should be easier on the translators -- just .strings files to mess with)
• better use of objective-C notification (for better encapsulation)
• switch to 64-bit types?
• rethink architecture to allow for easier addition of, for example, tabbed documents, split views, etc.
• explore possibilities of Leopard technologies

for the future

• a Styles inspector with two panes: 1. saved styles (add, delete, apply buttons) and 2. current document styles (apply button)
• columns and maybe sections
• preference: remember inspector and panel locations and status upon startup
• easier copy/paste of invisible characters in find panel
• Find > Jump to Page (layout  mode only)
• hide scrollbar in full screen
• better text finder / find and replace invisibles / RegEx  / fuzzy logic
