Right again, requiring emacs for Wikipedia editing would be a big
mistake. There are ways Karl might help out with emacs, however.
A lot of the emacs gestures are already in the editor, at least the
easy ones like c-a, c-e, c-k, c-t. It would be nice if more of them
were there, silently, for those of us whose fingers go that way first
anyway.
And, an emacs minor mode for use on our own editors would also be
nice.
