DOes your service deal with 'snippets' of HTML?

This is what most people are looking for in a visual editor - the
ability for someone to visually edit portions of an HTML document, not
the full thing.  

The realobjects solution mentioned before didn't seem to be able to that
last I looked - it would treat everything as a full *ML document, adding
in opening and closing tags where they weren't wanted. 
(body/head/html/etc).

I'm not a big MS fan, but they've certainly given people a nice tool
with that built-in HTML editing component.  Yes, the code it generates
isn't very good, but *no one* seems to have come up with a better answer
which *just works*.  :(  Sorry Mac people - (according to a recent Wired
story, most of you hate MS with a passion anyway!) - you're stuck
without a good embeddable HTML editing component.  

By requiring everyone to have MSWord on their system, you're most likely
dictating some upgrade costs as well which shouldn't be necessary for
people who just want to update a phone number on a page.
