Can you write an editor that moves on from 1990's WYSIWYG to use the HTML5 content sectioning elements, so that different 'sections' and 'asides' can be moved around? In so doing - and nesting them - the headings could be given an automatic h2 - h6 level, with the headings inside sections/articles.
It would also be nice to see details/summary entries and nothing in the toolbar that creates inline CSS things.
Out the box such an editor should create accessible HTML that can be easily styled, with structure to it that would result in a document outline.
I think such an editor could be what a lot of the web needs, to make people wonder why we ever had WYSIWYG backend editors that render nothing like the frontend, e.g. the things you get in Wordpress and other content editors.
WYSIWYG made sense in the 1990's when what you wanted was a printed 'dead tree' page, but we have responsive design now and lots of different screen sizes, so it is getting the structure right that matters more, not just for accessibility but SEO.
