Site/content managers may want to control what is accessible. A good example of that today would be Wiki where ther is control over who has access to what and when. Either the client will have to include control over this or the server will. If the client does it, it will have to know about the users and permissions involved. If it's done at the server, it will require what it already requires. What I'm asking is what does contentEditable get us that we don't already have? Does it make document management easier? -- Orion Adrian
