While I don't agree that Drupal needs a WYSIWYG built in, I do like this idea. If I'm understanding right, it's basically a hook to call whatever editor the user has installed or a plain text area if none. From my non-dev perspective, that sounds like a useful thing. Would be especially nice if there was a way to make it so that, for example, my users get BBCode and I get QuickTags. And that they only show up when editing the main text of a node.

for the longest time i've advocated that the tinymce module etc just extend the form
and add a '#wysiwyg' => true property, to whatever field they want.

this means anyone else can also go and add that property to any form they feel like.

if the element is set , and the module is not available, it is just ignored.
