Just for info: I found out about HTMLArea being discontinued while looking for documentation about it on the net :-/
As I didn't feel at ease integrating a discontinued editor into a current Cocoon project, I decided to look for an alternative. I finally chose the "FCKeditor", because it is currently well-supported (whatever that means in one or two years!), and it features clean, well-documented sourcecode (...just in case I'll have to debug it myself, when it becomes discontinued ;-) I'm currently integrating FCKeditor into Cocoon Forms. As far as I've understood, it is mostly a matter of modifying/extending a pretty straightforward XSL stylesheet (forms-htmlarea-styling.xsl), which handles the 'htmlarea' field styling type.
