well, my guess was that you wanted different tinymce customisation hacks
in different publications, and i think it should be discouraged to just
copy huge amounts of code to achieve that - it's always better to think
about the knobs you want to tweak and provide hooks in that case.

but obviously your motivation is different, and it now makes sense to me.

yeah, that was what got me hooked to tinymce in the first place. very
neat docs, good package, and excellent api with well-behaved hooks for
just about everything.
