In our experience, the biggest obstacle is to get the different 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 (http://googledocs.blogspot.com/2010/05/whats-different-about-new-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.

Google Doc's interface acts like sh*t unless your on a super dooper decent computer and gives negative views on the usability of a service. -Peachey
