Will try it asap, thanks!

Yes, this would be great! Contact Stanislas, I'm sure he will be willing
to help.

Well, it is being extended, I see the correct XCLASS in the
Tools>Configuration>$TYPO3_CONF_VARS, but its not working. And your
class is being called, because if I echo something at the start of
kb_tsedit_htmlarea/class.ux_tx_rtehtmlarea_base.php:drawRTE(), it will
get printed when loading the TS-RTE.

That's definitively a must if we want to do semantic checks on TS. If
the author provides a validational array, our code will be able to check
it, if not, this part should just be skipped/ignored.

Yes, that would be really nice indeed.

I mean a separate button to let the author explicitly SAVE the current
TS-code to the current record (not just validate it). This should not
happen onthefly, but on-request. Possible?
