My point is that if they are stand alone,they should still be able to share seamlessly the resources, like the dictionary, spell check, even PDF export, I'm not sure if Thunderbird uses one. But the important thing is to give the feeling that they work integrated. Not only to the E-Mail client, but to the Calendar and contacts. Thinking more into the Social, to be able to share documents made from LO directly after making them from the same application, having a button called SHARE, which will let the users select from the contacts and then automatically send the share invitation to the E-Mail of the selected contact. In general to give the effect that Google Docs and GMail give, that they work together! And that brings me again to the point of the Cloud Office Suite, if the DocumentFoundation is not thinking on developing a HTML5 based LibreOffice, at least there should be a tied integration with something like ULTEO (www.ulteo.com) that allows office directly into the browser without any installation necessary.
