Glad to see new contributions to the discussion, but concerned about how we
convert this level of interest into a higher priority for this issue? We're all
voting for this change already - what else can be done?

I'm not clear how the prioritization of work is carried out by the OOo team:
such forward plans as exist on the website
(http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Writer_Planned_Work) don't explicitly
mention Normal View. Looking at that list of planned work, could we perhaps
challenge some of the entries?  For example, these three:

- Better support for citations (probably using meta data and text fields)
- Improved handling of sections and associated page styles
- Page break special characters 

Are they really more important than Normal View? As an open project, shouldn't
it be possible to read the team's rationale or justification for the items in
this list?

Another page
(http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Writer_Stuff_Under_Evaluation) does
suggest that Normal View is at least on the Writer team's radar.  From reading
the Wiki article on Writer Views (link in a previous post), I think it will need
to wait for the necessary refactoring to be done first (see
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/OOo_Writer_Refactoring).

I vote that the refactoring is given a high priority.
