Well, if we had to provide for a full fledged, styled editor that  
targeted 100% of the users, I would agree with you.

Fortunately we don't have to be quite so abmitious. Even a single,  
limited xhtml editor would make a lot of CMS developers & users  
happy, I think, provided that it is sufficiently user friendly and  
provides valid XML markup. And it would certainly represent a huge  
improvement over the current situation.
