Then you haven't seen Xopus. This editor produces valid XML (valid to
schemas defined by you). Not only is it WYSIWYG, but it's "multi-WYSIWYG":
select a stylesheet, and the content being edited is re-rendered using a
different stylesheet. It's multiple views of the same data, and when you are
repurposing content this is very important. And these XSL stylesheets are
applied live--if one has a list with a sort() and you add a new item, it
pops into its correct place.
