[maemo-developers] confusion about koffice "viewer"

there is much confusion about the koffice "viewer" recently announced by
Nokia and KDE to be ported to Maemo.

While the actual announcement is describing a viewer only
(http://www.koffice.org/news/office-viewer-for-maemo5-based-on-koffice/)
"Nokia has created a document viewer for the Maemo 5 platform

(Fremantle) based on KOffice and uses the KWord and KPresenter

applications to load and display word processor and presentation

documents. The application uses a custom user interface specifically

designed to fit in with the Maemo 5 style."

other sources describe editing capabilities of the program:
(http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=31805)

"Note that while title mentions "viewer" text is about complete KOffice so

not only viewing but also edition and creation of documents should be
possible."

and various screenshots clearly demonstrate editing tools:

http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/3879

I'm really confused now. Can the koffice viewer only display documents, or
is editing and creation of new documents possible eventually?
Thanks,
    Chris
