Editize: www.editize.com It's not free, it's a Java applet (but since a lot of people have Java without knowing it, you may be able to overlook this issue), but at least it works in a plethora of browsers on all OS's. It's the only one we know that works on OS X (Safari) and on Windows in IE, FF, and Opera. And works pretty well, at that.
It allows multiple uses in a single page. The only downside is that it can't guarantee well-formed output, because you can paste a horrible mess into it and it won't fix everything, just some of it (until you reload, but even then it can't fix everything). So, if you want to ensure valid XHTML, you'll have to resort to server-side processing (recommendation: HTML Tidy) of the input nonetheless... It's not an optimal thing at all, but my CMS uses it, and our clients are very happy with it on the whole. We've looked for better ones for 1,5 years now, and have found none. Our demands are only met in Editize, which are (aside of work on all OS's and in all recent browsers on each): possibility to insert tables (used for tabular data), possibility to insert images, links, use MS Word shortcut keys, look like Word and, last but definitely not least, create semantic markup.
