[Mozile] Mozile 0.7.5 integration

[James A. Overton]

Hi Dennis,
	Sounds like a pretty old version. Hopefully we can get you up and  
running.

1) Use mozile.getEditors() to get the array of elements you want.  
These are the ones that have had XBL editing widgets attached to them  
by mozile.createEditor().

2) There's a system for setting global options (getOption,  
setOption), but the system for setting editor specific options never  
got finished. You might want to stick to the attribute-based method  
you were using.
	When "enter" is pressed Mozile will add "\n" when the CSS "white- 
space" is "pre", and otherwise will try to split the block. I'm not  
sure exactly what you want, but you can either mess around with  
mozileHandleKeypress() or MozileMediator.splitBlock() if you need to  
change that.

3) I never implemented a text-only mode, and the context-sensitivity  
is primitive. You have two options here:
	A. Hack at mozileHandleKeypress() or MozileMediator.executeCommand()  
to disable the commands you don't want to use when your special  
attribute is set.
	B. Improve the content-sensitivity, starting with something like  
MozileCommand.isAvailable(), so that commands won't execute when the  
special attribute is present.

	Sorry for the bad news. The good news is that Mozile 0.8 should make  
these things much easier. I know that probably isn't much comfort,  
and what you'd really like is Mozile just to be stable and complete!  
That's exactly what I want, too! :^)
	It certainly frustrates me that it's taking so long. All I can say  
is that it's been a long road discovering how to do this properly,  
and I think the new version is finally getting it right. Hopefully  
it'll be worth the wait.

	Good luck,

James
