If you're using Mozilla, you're using the heck out of xul without noticing.
I don't know if Mozilla can be convinced to embed a XUL editor widget in
plain ol' HTML. I know there are examples of the plugin interface used
to put native editing widgets in a browser:
http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/modules/plugin/samples/testevents/
but I think putting a XUL widget in HTML (or replacing the HTML
'textarea') would require a little bit more kung-fu. But perhaps
someone's already done that. It may be that all this requires is a bit
of CSS magic, but that's really not my area.
What would be possible is to make a XUL file that mimics a Zope editing
page with a visual editor component. That shouldn't be too hard. I've
already threatened to try that, but no dice. Perhaps in a week or two.
