We should support contenteditable, i. e. the MS way, especially as WebCore=

does it already. If we master that, midas should be easy to achieve.

Kafka was the name of the old wysiwyg html editor that was KPartized and=20
integrated into quanta.

take advantage of Apple's fixes.

Do it basically the WebCore-146 way (i. e. quite MS-like). That what I've=20
always intended to do and will pursue when I find time later on.
