OK.

How do you handle (mark?) content deletion?

Even if it's possible to implement this in JavaScript somehow (though I 
think it's pretty hard - you have to arbitrate and decide who you think 
is modifying the DOM for every modification : an extension ? or the 
normal behavior of the WYSIWYG ? + the fact that you have to observe 
change on potentially a very big DOM tree, and that every key stroke 
will trigger one more event to be handled, this slowing down the editor, 
etc.) I think it's over-engineering for the little value it brings.

Still +1 to remove JSX inclusions.
