However, the "editing mode" provided by browsers is a nightmare of incompatibilities. Basically, each browser produces a different output given identical commands, so currently MeanEditor is not completely up to the task. An external application might be an interesting solution.
I don't have the link ready, but Google solved this in Google Docs by re-implementing this in Javascript... they intercept mouse movements/clicks and keyboard events and then javascript-render the page.
