OS implied that a lack of specification for how the remove hyperlink should be
implemented is a major reason why this issue will not be addressed until later.
I've created a couple of mock ups that can be used as a starting point for
discussion. I'm using OO v2.0.1 for Windows, for my examples.

First, a screen shot of the present hyperlink dialog box:

Second, a "photoshopped" screen shot of the same dialog box with my proposal for
a control to remove the hyperlink:

Deragon mentioned the right-click context menu--there is no way to get to the
hyperlink dialog box via the context menu. I feel this is an oversight and
suggest the following UI modifications.

A screen shot of the present right-click context menu. Note, this is of a test
document where I entered some URL-like text strings; OO "auto-corrected" some of
these to add hyperlinks to them:

My proposal for a new right-click context menu:
  http://www.skunkwks.com/web/hidden/OOo/rightclick_menu_proposed.png

Deragon did not suggest it, but I removed "Open Hyperlink". Every entry on the
context menu modifies the document _except_ "Open Hyperlink", and left-clicking
on the hyperlink opens the hyperlink, a far more preferable user action. As more
is not always better, I suggest removal of the "Open Hyperlink" menu item.

Additionally, there's a facility to modify hyperlinks within the Character
dialog box. A hyperlink is a different beast than any of the other character
modifications. Additionally, a hyperlink does not necessarily change the
appearance of the character string (nor does it need to even contain a character
string as a visual element). In an ideal world, hyperlink editing should _not_
be a part of the Character dialog box.
