In our experience, the biggest obstacle is to get the

browsers to reliably make the same changes to HTML. The editor
interface is non-standard, and browsers sometimes disagree on encoding
rules, escaping, choice of tags, etc.
We could do the really hard way, like Google
did with Google Docs
(

make *everything* via JS by capturing keystrokes and mouse movements.
This way a consistent and reproducible user experience on all
platforms can be achieved. And by doing it all in JS, the editor could
also generate a wikitext-delta right away and doesn't need to transfer
the whole page's wikitext.
