LSA in pure java is on my roadmap, it's not much work to do on top of what
we already have, actually.  The question is what you do with it - putting it
inside
of Lucene is one way, and making a simple standalone latent semantic index
is another, but that's definitely a core feature, regardless of what wrapper
we
have.
