Vlad, you are actually poised in an ideal place to inform us of such things.
Thank you.

Please don't feel you can't compare Xstandard here. It's a great editor and
the free version is more than adequate for most situations.

The only reason I've avoided it to-date is a result of a wee Java bias I
have. ;)

Also, as you state, most of us are looking for a "no-install" solution.

We're ever hopeful...

I'm sure that some of you know that our company produces a
standards-compliant editor, so I feel uncomfortable about saying this, but
there is no way that FCKeditor is standards-compliant. I'm not saying this
to get you to buy our product, because our editor is a plug-in and this
thread is about in-browser editors. When someone makes claims that a tool is
Web standards complaint and it's not, they are actually hurting the Web
standards movement. To return to FCKeditor, these are just a few examples of
why it's not standards-compliant (tests done in IE):

1. Generates invalid markup:
Start with <p>Test</p> and then apply "Custom Bold" from the Styles menu.
You get:

<span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">
<p>Test</p>
</span>

As you know, an inline element cannot contain a block element.

2. Generates semantically meaningless markup:
Start with <p>Test</p> and apply formatting using the color picker and font
selector. You get:

<p><font face="Verdana" color="#ff0000" size="4">Test</font></p>

3. Generates deprecated markup. For example, create an anchor and you get:

<a name="abc"></a>

Regards,
-Vlad
