As text handling is now, a seperate string and face is required for every 
change in text formatting (AFAIK) - even bold and italics, never mind different 
fonts and colours.  That would be the biggest hurdle I think.  (And I'm sure 
someone's jumped it after a fashion.)  But I suspect waiting until REBOL 3 is 
the current sensible approach for coding a REBOL editor.
