This seems to be exactly what the Kafka team is doing.  All of their work 
right now seems to be getting good graphical WYSIWYG html composing.  They 
use khtml to do it so hopefully it will be usable to other programs in the 
future.  I think that Quanta and Kafka should aim to work together more in 
the future.  It seems that Kafka inside Quanta would be great!
