computer users will not write in any markup in my opinion, that's why
there is a need for a WYSIWYG editor for those people.
the interesting thing is - they do! you'd be surprised how
fast reasonably intelligent people learn by imitating others.
another point: it's not a problem when novice users write
plain text without any markup. there are enough other
users who do know the markup and will write it for them
afterwards or teach them how to do it.
btw: we don't want visual markup, we want semantic markup.
personally, i do not want to clean up after people using wysiwyg
editors if it looks like the kind of HTML frontpage creates..
