There is a lot more to Dreamweaver than the wysiwyg aspect. it is very handy when working with complex cascades like those that can occur in Drupal.
That said, I still don't get what Peter is looking for here.

Count me as extremely skeptical that Dreamweaver is anything but a web 1.0 tool (my rant on this: http://pingv.com/blog/laura/200703/adobes-creative-suite-for-web-1-0 ), but I'm certainly happy to be proven wrong. Personally I don't feel that web design requires a wysiwyg application, but what seems obvious is that many people -- and universities -- are resistant or intimidated by CSS. I started by hand coding in the early '90s before the various web design apps came out, so maybe I'm coming from a different place, but learning CSS fundamentals is not rocket science. I feel the real design happens in the imagination, and photoshop, illustrator, indesign, inkscape, fireworks, etc. All that dreamweaver does is combine the design with some auto-generated mark-up, yes? But if dreamweaver can be leveraged into making decent markup, that could help a lot of people, it seems.
Is there a proof of concept or proposed architecture for such a project?
