Re: some points

Folks.

The cursor is important, but I think there is little choice but to see 
what the browsers bring us.   I'd like to see more docs and examples 
first!   The readme really does get one off to a good start though.

http://xopus.org/demo/index.html
has the same behavior on my osx laptop, and I've seen no good solution 
for having a cursor in an editable region or innerHTML chunk.

http://admin.demo.callistocms.com/.cms/
manages around this by forcing each editable region to be a mini form, 
which is a different way of building a page.

There are pluses and minuses to each type, but those like bitflux and 
xopus may end up winning, because they feel more like composition and 
less like assembly.   What clues are out there to help get us a cursor?

Thanks for bitflux,
Mike
