Whichever implementations you choose; I would just like to
say that having dictionaries in Emacs "by default" would be very
valuable and appreciated. If there could be some functionality to
find synonyms, antonynms, rhems and other stuff, that would be
really great. Pair that with Org andEmacs might be indispensable
for writers, bloggers etc.

I don't have much technical to add to the discussions, so I keep
myself off, I just wish to say that I dig the idea; and hope 28 gets
first class dictionary support. 🙂

What's so special about wiktionary that we should prefer it?  The
other free and PD dictionaries used by dict.org aren't of lower
quality, and sometimes much better.
