Yes, Mozilla is cool ;)

Some time ago I confused you by speaking of the "pure XML/CSS approach" 
in terms of providing a editable WYSIWYG view of XML content; this was 
what I tried to express :)

There are interesting projects at http://www.mozdev.org like mozOffice 
(http://mozoffice.mozdev.org/) , which tries to use the XPCOM components 
used in the Composer for providing editing capabilities; there sill seem 
to be some problems regarding the Composer-related components that have 
show-stopping capabilities for mozOffice and have been postponed 
somewhere beyond the 1.0 release.

I have been looking into the chrome which makes up the editor some time 
ago, but it yet *seems* to be somewhat restricted to HTML, and the XUL 
and JS files look definitely messy; some hours earlier, I tried to at 
least edit text in a XML file with CSS attributes which rendered fine, 
but without immediate success.

Best regards,
