What has WYSIWYG ever done to you? :)

What about some kind of separation? We put together a gadget that
reads the text when you open an edit window and moves all the
complicated stuff (refs, complicated infobox templates, etc) out of
the main edit window and into a secondary edit window? When you click
"Save" the javascript reinserts the data before sending it off to the
server. This idea is off the top of my head and is obviously not
perfect, but does this kind of concept address your concerns?
