I think that your approach is an interesting and worth one. It would 
make even a biger pleasure to use TeXmacs. What likes to me more about 
Leo is its tree and leaf sight at the same time and its framed 
interface. Of course you're not trying to rewrite TeXmacs interface, but 
I think that representation affects the way of thinking and programming 
needs proper representations to be fluid. Well is just some ideas for 
your project (wich is in fact already a good one ;) ).

I will try to go slowly and step by step. There is a lot to learn and I 
just some kind of weird end user.

Well, you know, the strange people that Net puts together these days ;)
