I (perhaps we) would like a WYSIWYG editor that enforces a standarized format and that we agree is a nice tool. *I* don't like vi, emacs or those other editors, and I don't wnat to have to learn SGML to write documentation. John Fieber made some excellent comments on the difference between the application and the format. I firmly believe that even if the tool doesn't exist we will have added benefits by searching for it.
