A basic list of features that would yield a useful tool (IMO) as a first stage would be simply:

- Inline markup (bold, italic etc)
- Ability to select block and apply sematic information to them. (This is a heading, this is a sub heading, this is a chapter, etc
- Links
- Tables
- Spell check
- Input from HTML
- Output to HTML

I make this list assuming you want to build a tool that is useful for the ebook hobbyist/conversion enthusiast and not as a professional publication software alternative.
