[Mozile] idea for powerful, but easy functionality: 'style marker' see URL

[James A. Overton]

	By "cuts across boundaries" do you meant that Mozile sometimes  
changes content outside editable areas (which happens and should be  
fixed), or that it behaves badly with spans and divs within editable  
areas?
	I understand your idea for editing just the element with the current  
focus. It's certainly feasible. What would you want to happen when  
the "enter" key is pressed?
