Drag & Drop TTW file transfer _and_ WYSIWYG editing are the
heavenly ideals from a usability perspective IHMO.

But it seems that the devil has all the best tunes in this
department - WebFolders and DHTML in IE.

Things like edit-on Pro (http://www.realobjects.de/) offer
a cross-platform solution to TTW WYSIWYG editing using
Java - anyone know of similar approaches to file transfer
(via the browser)?

My requirement is that the end-user must not knowingly
install new software (WebDrive is nice but too complicated
for many users and is of course Windoze only). As in the
case of edit-on Pro the software doesn't have to be no
purchase cost - just good value.
