I have attached a test document for the XML input control I have suggested. It is primarily intended to facilitate rich text input to CMS's from novice as well as expert users. The semantics is similar to that of a textarea except that conforming clients are responsible for returning xml markup that validates according to the doctype/schema/dtd specified in the control. The control can be rendered/handled in different ways (possibly configured by the user): - a crude text interface that is validated before it is submitted. - a crude text interface with syntax highlighting etc. - a generic schema/dtd driven graphical XML editor. - a built-in standardized "tinyhtml" WYSIWYG editor. - a publically available WYSIWYG plugin editor customized for the doctype. (Doctypes such as wikipage, myspacepage, ebayitem etc. can typically be handled by corresponding editors: wikiedit, myspacedit, ebayedit etc.) - an application specific plugin/javascript editor. The more user friendly tools should be responsible for ensuring valid output. Web clients only need to provide a crude error mechanism, basically handing the problem back to the input tool. -- Henrik
