[Mozile] Editing xml files

[James A. Overton]

	Two new XML+CSS editing demos are available. Right now they only  
work in Firefox 1.5:

http://mozile.mozdev.org/0.8/demo/docbook.xml
Demonstrates DocBook editing, using a simplified RNG schema for  
DocBook. (The full DocBook schema is quite complex and Mozile's RNG  
system can't handle it yet.)

http://mozile.mozdev.org/0.8/demo/address.xml
Demonstrates generic XML editing without an RNG schema. See the  
http://mozile.mozdev.org/0.8/demo/address.js file for the  
configuration. The most important new method is mozile.editAllText 
(rich) -- it enables a set of default editing commands. When "rich"  
is false, only basic text editing inside elements is allowed. When  
"rich" is true elements can be split, merged, and removed.

In order to make this work I've completed the mozile.editElement(),  
editElement(), and editDocument() methods. You can now use these  
methods instead of setting the contentEditable attribute. To make  
sure that they will work properly, you probably want to wait until  
the document is loaded before calling them, using code like this:
window.onload = function() {
	mozile.editElements("editor");
}
See http://mozile.mozdev.org/0.8/core/mozile.js for an example.
	The documentation hasn't been updated yet. I'll do that tomorrow.
