[BNM] Looking for Expression Engine guinea pigs

[Chris Anderson]

I've spent some hours today looking around for a WYSIWYG editor than
produces semantic XHTML, and yours does the job better than any others I've
seen. Are you open to us developing a Drupal version from your editor?

The only point I came across while checking it out, is that it does what all
the other editors do, which is to put text inside <p> tags separated by <br
/> tags, when it would be more semantically correct to have multiple <p>
tags.

<p>Paragraph 1</p>
<p>Paragraph 2</p>

rather than

<p>Paragraph 1<br />
<br />
Paragraph 2</p>

That's the only thing though!
