This thing looks pretty cool. Now all someone needs to do is put XML support into it (too bad it isn't OpenSource). Xopus is definately cool, but the implementation just feels wrong and is a real pain to extend. Or, maybe the IE team will get their act together and make the ContentEditable attribute work for XML some day?
