I would guess these become commodities pretty soon, since its >clearly technically possible. I should point out that it is not only a question of all these ML variations, but via plugins one can integrate code from various computer languages: Java is well known, but Haskell is also possible, and so on. And Maple and MatLab are build up around a kernels which probably can be used for such plugins: We are then no longer speaking of documents in the traditional sense with a fixed graphical output, but the graphical output may depend on what the reader wants to view.
