Unless I'm mistaken, Mark, you've been banging this drum for *some* time
now, however I've yet to see one WYSIWYG editor come close to keeping up
with developments vis a vis HTML, JavaScript, VBScript, etc. etc. I
speculate that there will always be room for both manual coding and WYSISYG
(if we can call it that), until HTML disappears altogether--which it very
well may (but I don't presume to know what will replace it). However, that
said, HTML is rapidly becoming a smaller and smaller part of online
publishing as the net evolves from a world-wide publishing network into a
world-wide operating system.
