No. If it would only support XHTML, we'd missed the point somehow ;) On 
the other hand, it has a lot of XHTML stuff in it, because the 
university of zurich (which uses the editor) uses some subset of XHTML 
for parts of their doctype.. But this is not hardcoded in anyway. Give 
it another relxang file and it almost forgets anything about XHTML ;)

The loading (start) document has to be (X)HTML. the comment is 
missleading, I deleted it ;)

0.9.2 is almost 1.0.0, there won't be many changes. I know, I didn't 
announce a lot lately to make this clear, I will very soon. The main 
problem is, that the examples are  not really working right now and I 
have to fix them.

If only XHTML, we wouldn't need relaxng at all ;)

in the buttons. yes. because we don't know from the relaxng file, what 
is bold or italic. But it's only hardcoded in config.xml and not in the 
code itself. see 
http://cvsdemo.bitfluxeditor.org/examples/inline/config.xml and
http://cvsdemo.bitfluxeditor.org/examples/uni/config.xml for an example. 
the <buttons> section ;)
