In looking for ideas, I discovered the 
http://plugins.jquery.com/project/designMode designMode plugin , which
facilitates cross browser use of the designMode feature. Using this
approach, I loaded a page with simple ordered list into an iframe. With
designMode turned on, I can add lines and line items. 

It's not exactly what I was looking for, but it's a step in that direction.
I would love to hear other ideas!
