Thanks for you explanation.

Another thing I noticed is that Kupu is more Linux oriented and FCKEditor
more Windows oriented, which may introduce a bias in preferences :-). It
might be that Kupu transforms to XHTML lateron and the result differs from
what you see in the source, but I noticed some complaints about generating
invalid XHTML in the newsgroups. A problem with FCKEditor could be that it
contains so many possibilities, including the possibility for bugs...
