Thanks for this reply. Our experiences with that:
1) The code only has to be transfered once. The second time the applet 
is started it's there within a second.
2) The code is not optimized, i.e. all classes are transfered in one 
shot. There are more techniques to improve that behaviour.

On the other hand there are a bunch of benefits:
1) BROWSER and OS independent
2) SPEED e.g. to save the content the applet could handle that by 
invoking Typo3 with out the need of reloading the whole content ;)

Additionally:
3) What this applet must be capable is defined in the RTE-interface.
4) Most important for us that at that point all items/buttoms/features 
we would need are available. So it's easy to exclude the one or other.
5) There are other benefit's that at  the RTE can't handle, e.g. 
spellchecker, i.e. EKIT could be extensible.

Most important would be that if the RTE is extended by Kasper this 
features would also be included. But as we see the RTE code at the 
moment is only extensible, if Microssoft adds new features to the browser;)

Anyone, who will join us?
