This is all very confusing.  I don't *think* Xinha is the same as the 
Dynarch development of HTMLArea...?  And I don't really like the sound 
of more development happening in-house at Dynarch -- version 3.0 has 
already languished for a long time, and if the development isn't 
transparent it's hard to know if it's actually happening at all.

I've used HTMLArea before and it's worked well, but this makes me a 
little reluctant.  Do other people have opinions on open source WYSIWYG 
editors?  I found Kupu too conceptually heavy (though I haven't looked 
at it for a while), and I was put off by the server-side components of 
FCKEdit (though I haven't looked closely enough to know how important 
they are), and some of the other things out there the last time I looked 
seemed immature... but maybe that's changed...?
