 * Thanks for the suggestions 🙂
 * Otto: ideally (and this is me being as picky as I like), I’d like something that
   shows me the basic TEXT (ie. not block) formatting as any rich-text type editor
   does, but allows me to mark up the structure of my post. So instead of left, 
   centre, right align, instead of using ul to indent text, or setting font colours,
   etc, I’d like something that lets me set the class of a ‘p’ tag or img.
 * I’m not a huge fan of HTML source editing. I know how to do it back-to-front,
   but it’s exactly what I was hoping to avoid in using WP.
 * Logikal: NicEdit seems about the same sort of thing as TinyMCE: all style, no
   structure (also, it inserts 2x’br’ tags for paragraphs! Why!).
 * I’ve just discovered WP Super Edit, which has a few plugins and customisations
   for TinyMCE, and might give me what I’m looking for.

 * Thanks, but I’ve read those (being first on a Google search) — out of the nineteen,
   only three of them are embedded WP editors, and those three aren’t that different
   from TinyMCE.
 * I posted this not to attract Google results, but to see what other things people
   actually use and endorse.

 * So I’m **not** the only one…
 * There should be a support group. (Oh, wait, it’s the W3C.)

 * Hmmm, upon closer inspection, maybe it is what I need. Now it is just my neurotic
   desire for code cleanliness that I have to overcome.

 * An interesting plugin, but not what I’m after here.
 * By way of an example: last week I was tearing my hair out trying to figure out
   why there was a stray “->” just after my post heading. It was because of an IE
   conditional comment I’d put in my post, and I had to trawl through the HTML source
   to see what WP had converted it to. This wasn’t easy, since it was indented almost
   beyond the boundary of the screen (while there were nested ‘li’ elements with
   no indentation at all).
