I use one of these in my applications. I use the sourceforge project
htmlarea. These tools are extremely browser dependent (the version I use
only works in IE5.5+), and have rather large javascript libraries. Htmlarea
was so easy to plug in to my app, however, that I barely felt the need to
make a component for it. Here is example code from one of my apps:
// this is in my <head>
<script language="Javascript1.2"><!-- // load htmlarea
_editor_url = 'http://' + document.location.host + '/htmlarea/';
var win_ie_ver = parseFloat(navigator.appVersion.split("MSIE")[1]);
if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf('Mac') >= 0) { win_ie_ver = 0; }
if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf('Windows CE') >= 0) { win_ie_ver = 0; }
if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf('Opera') >= 0) { win_ie_ver = 0; }
if (win_ie_ver >= 5.5) {
document.write('<scr' + 'ipt src="' +_editor_url+ 'editor.js"');
document.write(' language="Javascript1.2"></scr' + 'ipt>');
} else { document.write('<scr'+'ipt>function editor_generate() { return
false; }</scr'+'ipt>'); }
// --></script>
// and this is the textarea itself:
<textarea id="<ww:property value="id"/>" name="_<ww:property value="id"/>">
<ww:property value="Text()"/>
</textarea>
<script language="javascript1.2">
editor_generate('_<ww:property value="id"/>');
</script>
As you can see, it was quite easy. I don't know how much work I could save
making a component out of it, or if it would be easy to generalize the use
case enough so that all WW developers could leverage it, but there are
certainly no real technical hurdles in the way of doing so.

Here's another useful idea. How about a rich text editor component, to
take the place of a textarea control? I've seen things like this on PHP
message boards. It includes a formatting toolbar as well as the textarea
itself, and works just like a miniature wordpad. I don't know how hard
this would be to do as a component, but it would certainly be useful.
