Great. I pleased that you are interested in resolving these. I like the idea of being able to preview snippets of a document.
No one has said anything yet about offering some support for the old subfigure method. This will be the critical issue that decides whether I'll update to 1.6 during my thesis. And I'd like to, because there are many features in 1.6 I am excited about! I really like the idea of being able to hide tabs for example.
