We make extensive use of TinyMCE with Drupal (we're a Drupal development
shop) - it's not perfect, but it does offer a lot of flexibility
regarding acceptable tags, and we've been able to get it to provide
XHTML compliant code. Combined with filters like Tidy, it's possible to
ensure that you don't get non-compliant code being entered.
<rant>The biggest issue is the complexity of cleaning up cut-pasted
content from MS Word... *that's* a problem. TinyMCE offers a "Paste from
Word" function which strips most of the rubbish from Word-produced
content, but it's a pain to use... or people assume that anything coming
from MS Word is clearly well suited for the web... We spend a lot of
time trying to discourage people from using Word for authoring web
content, because it's a very poor tool for doing so, but we have a hard
time suggesting a palatable alternative (people seem to find the idea of
composing content in the actual TinyMCE interface totally absurd, which
doesn't make much sense to me...).</rant>

That is not entirely accurate. The fckstyles.xml tells the editor which
styles the user can apply and how to apply them. The actual CSS definition
is defined in your CSS file and can be modified without updating the
fckstyles.xml again.
