i agree. actually i came up with this because you had some future statements 
in your paper draft already (e.g., dealing with performance issues, lines 
89/90; inclusion of odfWeave, lines 233ff.) ;-)

you're right of course. although it wouldn't hurt to mention some planned 
features that are likely to be implemented in the near future. say, if we 
think back a little to when RKWard still relied on PHP, but the shortcomings 
of it were already obvious, revealing the plans to probably replace it by 
javascript wouldn't have been too deep a stare into the crystal ball. anyway, 
my main point was that *if* future features are included, they should be 
consequently moved/limited to the discussion section (for the ease of reading 
and all the reasons you mentioned).

that is, i didn't want to nominate a new list of plans to be included, but 
suggest just a time dimension to apply to what we already have in the draft 
for like a "defragmentation", if you will :-)
