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.
