Fascinating! Word as LyX :)

This extends beyond the word processing context. Web page composition is
transforming itself too. Content management systems make WYSIWYG editors rather
obsolete. In fact, people who use WYSIWYG editors to build sites are often
snubbed these days, perhaps because poor standards compliance which follows and
the poor underlying understanding of how everyone's Web works, as well as
semantics (e.g. structure). It is the same problem we see with proprietary
WYSIWYG tools.
