This probably sounds stupid, but I was envisioning Abiword's text entry area displayed in something analogous to a text entry field on a web page -- with the "buttons" arrayed above that field similar to a Cups web interface. There would need to be some means to save every few seconds by transmitting to the server, but I wouldn't have thought there would need to be an actual local document. If you received a document from some one else, you would upload to the server via FTP, and if you wanted a local copy as a backup, or to send as an e-mail attachment, you could download it as well. But normally, the document would be created, stored, edited and printed on the server computer in the scenario I envision.
