a great use case :)
Awesome, I'll be looking forward to this! Btw, I've looked at the new
editor and I am really glad to see that the <bold> <unbold> now works
properly -well done! I'm downloading the code now and am reading through
the new readme file :) It looks to me like the js files, and possibly the
xsl files will require ie versions, but I'm going to need some time to think
about this ;)

Of course, but the research I've done to date tells me that the IE port will
have an entirely different implementation approach than the Mozilla one,
using the MSIE specific "exec command". You could XUL for an "advanced"
editor, say automatic spell-checking (like word) and right clicks etc. This
is all future stuff, but if your entire implementation is browser specific,
why not use XUL :-)

Cool, I'll look forward to it! Great work!
