hi there,

i'm new to the ML. I saw the mozillaZine's news about the europe 
conference, checked the slides and then  subscribed to this dev ML. I'm 
basically interested in creating a WYSIWYG XML/XHTML editing tool for 
mozilla-based browsers. bitflux is definitely interesting, but
from what i saw its pretty slow when it comes at GUI operations. i think
the built-in mozilla editor (composer) or the newly added midas module
could be used instead of reinventing the wheel and write everything
from scratch. why not personalize composer? or use midas? yes,
this could "lock" the project to mozilla and make an eventual porting
to IE even harder, but i think there're other module on the
market to allow author content on IE, an eventual port could use
those.

i'm looking at the midas demo and i think midas could be a solution. 
what it's not clear is how much midas there's  in composer and vice 
versa. can midas be used to author XML files?

any ideas?
