Hi Marc,

(Sorry for the slow response -- busy week.)

It sounds like an interesting project. Mozile 0.8 should be able to  
do most of the stuff you want right away, and the rest of the things  
with a bit of work.

Just create the elements with your JS and mark them as contentEditable.

You'd have to write your own saving module, but the rest is done.

> - several editors (text-only, WYSIWYG) are used at the same time;

Block-level control is limited at the moment: you can only control by  
element name. Finer control could be added.

> - the edition toolbar is shared by all editors;

Yes

> - there is no need for non-editable areas (it uses "template
>   elements" instead);

Ok

>   delete elements, create variable names for HTTP requests...

You can have whatever JS you want work along side Mozile.

The documentation and examples here should get you started: http:// 
mozile.mozdev.org/0.8/

If you have any other questions, just ask.

James
