Almost everything that's part of a Sosua page object can be described in normal HTML page. The page edit merely allows you to re-use elements and provide some editing structure. However, it can clutter up the collections of the Resource tool. One could consider a "Page Compiler" (save to HTML) which takes a page layout description and renders it into a fixed HTML file.

Use data from tables, spreadsheets, etc. and plot with SVG. The OpenCSV page is Apache 2.0 licensed and is very simple to use. It's a great way to get tabular data into Sousa. Initially, editing would only add or swap CSV (or TAB) files. Later, we could add a customized editor for table data editing. Plots and graphics are a matter of specifying which rows (or columns) to use as data, and then plot it using SVG.
OpenCSV was used on another project that builds it as a JAR that can be included in Sakai. It might be a good idea to get this put up on the Sakai Maven repository. Library is very easy to use.
Sousa Support in Structured Editing - mjn
Given that FCKEdit and TinyMCE are extensible WYSISWYG editor components, it should be possible to add an extension that allows Sousa objects to be embedded in a free-form, marked-up text element. Several extensions to editors were mentioned at the Ninth Sakai Conference in Paris (Project Coord Meeting). Also, Fluid has a text editor component now that edits text in-line (rather than in a form element).

Microsoft documents might be displayable. There is an open source project to parse MS documents, thought I believe it is largely focused on Excel at this time. Display of PDF pages is fine as long as the browser supports it (such as Firefox).
