I don't know if it's what's you are meaning but I think It could be
useful to have language analysis tools as plugins in a text editor :
- text statistics (nb words, sentences, verbs, nouns, adjectives...)
- grammar analysis, synonyms...

I like the gramadoir project : http://borel.slu.edu/gramadoir/
and I know a french non-free tool named Ideographix :

I've read things about Scorms witch I didn't know :

but I'd like to get concrete example.
