+1.
My ideal implementation would be to expose macros using an implementation of Emacs Lisp, then include a record/play function in the UI to activate them. There's already an open source project implementing a large chunk of this (JEmacs) that would be worth investigating.
This would have the nice side-effect of creating a "plug-in API" for text editing, enabling people to more easily extend the text editor. It would also enable people to create plug-ins by porting things from the huge library of Emacs Lisp add-ins that are already available.
