Having contenteditable (shipped by MSFT almost ten years ago right ?) and designMode in HTML 5 is a real pleasure. But that's really a 1998 thing being finally put into the standard, not a 2007 solution. I think the interactions between designMode and contenteditable values have to be better documented and have to be extended. In particular, I would like to have the possibility to have the following <html designMode="on"> .. <p contenteditable="false">bla</p> .. </html> In such a document, a visual browser would disable content editing in the paragraph holding contenteditable="false". Why do I want that ? Think corporate document templates where some elements are editable and some others are not. I can already hear some of you answer "then use multiple contenteditable attributes". No thanks. Having an editor and an editing context instantiated per element holding contenteditable="true" is far too expensive. I would also be able to specify an element is not removable, I already sent a message about it in the early days of the what-wg IIRC. </Daniel>
