I have no problem with that. I am aware of the specs. My point was that
the script does not work in all cases.
In fact, we were using it for our own CMS in work for a short while, but
gave it up because of some difficulties matching the front and back
ends. In short, we were using some pretty tricky CSS on the front end
which we couldn't replicate faithfully in the backend. This, while fine
for myself (I don't care about design), is a head wrecker for the
designers in the office.
I'd say go for it, if the front end CSS is not going to make the code
look vastly (read: any) different - you may get some whiners. Just tell
them that webpages are /not/ the same as printed pages, and that you
will not be able to make something look exactly the same on every
browser so deal.
BTW: I have a very handy adaptation of the script which will
automatically add the HTMLArea to every textarea in your document - no
tricky scripting involved. If you want it, just shout!
