First off, I'm foreseeing an admin saying this should be on the CMS list
instead...

... but yes, since you asked, I've got an idea.
Matt Mullenweg of the WordPress project announced a few days ago
( http://photomatt.net/2005/08/05/wysi/ ) they were planning to
integrate the TinyMCE Javascript WYSIWYG editor
( http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/ ).
I'm assuming they've got that working in full XHTML happiness, given the
general history of that project (WordPress, that is) in terms of
adherence to validation (semantically always been pretty good, too)...
but, until that comes out (version 1.6, probably a few months still),
this post on the TinyMCE forum
( http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/punbb/viewtopic.php?id=27 ) appears to be
the best guide to making it spit out nice code. I think. I haven't
actually tried it yet, though.

This may be doing the same thing, I'm uncertain.
