I have pinged Laurent on the topic, he will deliver his UI mockups before
the end of the week so that Marcela can keep her work going.

Since work on the new editor is taking longer than expected, I made a
prioritized list of the features that are crucial for XE 1.7 final.

*Features we cannot ship the rich text editor without (those features have
to work the same in IE6 / IE7 / FF2 / FF3):*

   1. Hitting return creates a new paragraph
   2. Clicking on the Bold / Italics / Underline / Strikethrough buttons
   applies the style to the current text selection
   3. Clicking on H1 / H2 / H3 / H4 / H5 turns the current line into a
   header. Other style options are greyed. Clicking again turns the line of
   text back into normal text.
   4. Clicking on a list button triggers the matching list behavior (either
   bulleted or numbered). Lists can be indented.
   5. An user can turn a text selection into a wiki link. He can browse for
   the wiki page he wants to link to or search for it.
   6. An user can turn a highlighted text selection into a link towards an
   external URL
   7. An user can turn a highlighted text selection into a link towards a
   new wiki page

*Features we'd better not ship the richt text editor without **(those
features have to work the same in IE6 / IE7 / FF2 / FF3):*

   1. Table insertion: the user can insert a standard wiki table and define
   how many rows / columns it should have.
   2. Macro insertion: the user can select a macro from a list and click on
   insert to add that macro to the page
   3. Macro rendering: the macro content is shown in
