We might need to change the popup window behavior a bit to accommodate Tiny’s toolbar size.
Actually if Tiny’s going to be the standard I really need to work on getting the AJAX apply feature to work too. I’ve never used Tiny much so I guess I need to spend some time getting to know it. I’ll adjust the window sizes when I do.

It’d be really cool to do a Lightbox style edit pane actually.
I’ve thought about this. I definitely don’t want to go with Ligtbox. I want someting draggable so you can get it out of the way and I don’t like shading the page that you’re trying to edit, it ruins your view and prevents you from being able to select and copy. I might end up going with a draggable iFrame kindof like this (

Personally I like having a pop-up window so that I can drag the editor onto another screen and see the whole page without anything in the way but I understand that it doesn’t have the wow factor of an in page editor. An in-page editor with a blind feature might be a good compromize, or maybe an in-page window with an optional pop-out button kind of like gmail IM windows.
The other problem with an in-page window is that applying your changes has to reload the page and then you have to reload your editor with takes time and kills your undos. I can’t really think of any way around that one. You might be able to do some sort of an ajax reload thing but I could see a lot of potential problems with that.
