Following the iTunes analogy, I'd like to have the ability to create a sort of "on the go playlist". While I'm viewing the documents in your program, if I could highlight sections and have them flagged/collected in another document (perhaps in the form of links to the original), that would be nifty. I typically print out all the papers I use for something and take a highlighter to the portions I want, but if there were an easy way to do this without involving dead trees, man...
Would it be possible for the program to identify unique language in each paper and scan your document for that language as a sort of "citation check"? Like, it also checks for common citation formats nearby, but if they're not there it says "This paragraph 70% match for 'Boron Carbide Applications' by Speyer, Robert. Add citation?" and gives you the chance to break out of the check cycle for a moment and add a citation.
I'm just thinking "outloud". Something to collect and organize papers would be wonderful in whatever form it takes.
