We could do the really hard way, like Google did with Google Docs
(http://googledocs.blogspot.com/2010/05/whats-different-about-new-google-docs.html):
make *everything* via JS by capturing keystrokes and mouse movements.
This way a consistent and reproducible user experience on all
platforms can be achieved. And by doing it all in JS, the editor could
also generate a wikitext-delta right away and doesn't need to transfer
the whole page's wikitext.
