I wouldn't make it an online editor. Just let a normal editor access remote files. Done. As for specifically html documents on the web, doesn't http already have provisions for updating anyway?
HTTP has a PUT method, but I'm not sure it's widely supported. Nowadays, practically everyone uses FTP to upload web pages. Either that or a web-based file manager such as free hosts tend to provide instead of FTP access.
Hell, the *original* web browser was *both* an editor and a viewer.
What kind of editor - raw HTML, WYSIWYM, WYSINWYG or something else entirely?
But then Mosaic came along, scrapped the editor part, and everything since has followed suit.
I guess the authors of Mosaic were bothered about enabling people to browse the web, rather than to create web pages.
But there were a few other combined browsers and editors to come, like Netscape Navigator Gold (the editor part of which later broke away into Netscape Composer, or so I was told)....
