[development] WYSIWYG editors considered harmful for site admins (and in general, but that's a separate thread)

[Gordon Heydon]

Hi,

I think this is a very good idea. I know that with HTMLArea I put a 
value onto the indicate that this should be converted, And with jQuery 
it will be so easy to exclude those that have a class or something that 
indicate no wisiwyg editor.

Also it could be used for fields that are php filtered so we know not to 
convert it.
