DHTML browsers [was Accessibility]

[Thomas, Mark - BLS CTR]

The problem with WYSIWYG editing with the built in browser
functionality is that neither Mozilla's Midas or IE's MSHTML
produce clean code. I haven't seen someone put together an
editor that didn't make use of these technologies while
avoiding Active-X or Java.

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.

You're right! I haven't seen Xopus. It's pretty good. My main complaint
would be its speed. It's not as reactive as I'd like and at a 600kb
download, I'm not surprised.
