Wouldn't this be cool? Here's some info on integration of these types of editors:

well, when all users use HTML5-supporting browsers, it could be a suggestion ;=)

I do not know the statistics, but I think this is the biggest problem

Works on IE7 here.. Didn't try on IE6 as I don't have it installed anymore.

aloha-editor includes jQuery. jQuery can be used easily to make older browsers HTML5 compliant. Wordpress uses a very small js file to make all of its html5 features backwards compatible to ie6 and other insanely old browsers.

I think it would be a great feature. I have been following this editor for a while.

I replaced ckeditor with aloha editor in the 'edit.php' file and found it to be inferior to GetSimples ckeditor implementation. I think it would only make sense to use this in a "Live" editor of some sort where the user can edit their webpages while browsing through their site. I have used this in a newsletter plugin however. It allows easy creation and editing of newsletters without much technical experience.

Yes, that's the whole point. I don't know how that Hallo editor compares to Aloha.

If you are looking for a live editor plugin it would be probably be best to start a new plugin request thread stating that.
