Dreamweaver and Amaya also have nice models for selecting elements - there is
a status bar that gives the information about what the ancestors are, and a
method for selecting parent/child/sibling.

In terms of accessible editing this is important (it is one of the reasons
why editors are often better as accessible browsers than browsers are) - it
is also a requirement of W3C's Authoring Tool Accessibility Guidelines.

(As well as being needed for a useful editor of a structured document
anyway).

  Just a side note wrt. block selection:
  Word and such don't support the concept on nesting blocks like HTML.
  Mathematica, however, does a very good job at visualizing the nesting of
  blocks in the right margin and providing a way for selecting blocks.
