Very good list.

As far as I searched, there are only two solutions : explorer 5+ custom 
editor, and java applets. (javascript is too weak for this job afaik)

What we really need are browsers that support custom external editors 
for text areas. In the meantime I'd like to implement a standard editing 
tool for zope that could be used with any kind of zope document 
(dtml-method or dtml-doc at least).

I'm implementing this as a simple "edit" folder that you place in the 
root of your zope (or somewhere higher in the hierarchy than the pages 
you want to edit). Then, you simply need to append "/edit" to the page 
to be edited. Really like tou can append "/manage".

The edit folder should be smart enough to use the appropriate editor (ie 
-> java -> textarea), and save / edit the right content.

My solution is probably too simplistic to be used, but when I'll have 
somethin working with the ie5+ method, I'll release it.
