That's actually the simplest way to do it.I'm interesting in implementing/co-ordinating some effort to add this support. Since I use vim, that's my first goal. I've started to look at the composer code, and I'm guessing the easiest way to do this would be to make vim into a Bonobo component which implements the gtkhtml interface (which the composer currently uses). However, this is probably not the Right Thing (tm) to do, since vim isn't an html editor - it's a plain text editor.
We could also hack the composer and GtkHTML up so that the non-plain-text features are a separate interface, and you can have an editor that only supports the plain-text stuff.
