Things should be easier.
Why can’t I do the following with HTML:
<textarea richtext=”yes”
buttons=”bold,italic,copy,cut,paste,lists,…”
resizable=”yes” … >
buttons=”bold,italic,copy,cut,paste,lists,…”
resizable=”yes” … >
It would display something like this:

When submitting the rich textarea it would simply POST well-formatted HTML as you would expect. You wouldn’t need a huge download, buggy javascript, different editor widgets for each site. You could have the same consistent spell checker every where.
Instead I’ll use Moxie’s Tiny-MCE with it’s little idiosyncracies.
