No question that this editor is in the early stages, and needs more work and refinement. But I like it's simplicity. Certainly, if you want a full-featured slick editor that does just about anything, something like xinha might really fill the bill. But if you want to limit what a user can do to a small, predefined menu so that the snippets created are consistent for use as specific pieces in a larger master plan, then maybe this more minimalist thing might be better. Also, one has to look at who will be using the system, and fewer features means, in general, it should be easier to use.
(BTW, as far as the xhtml code, indeed, in its raw state it is not formatted nicely as far as pretty-printing goes, but seems to be well-formed - if not, I'd sure like to know...)
