[wp-testers] Writing without WYSIWYG

[Mark Jaquith]

What about the following situation?

1. Start new entry in RTE mode
2. Type a sentence
3. Click the "plain text" button

Without a save of the post, wouldn't it be limited, to whatever  
information was originally loaded, or would it be possible to have  
the RTE convert and send the text to the plain text editor and vice  
versa when the button is pressed?

If so, it sounds great.  Is this even doable with a plugin, or is  
this going to be a core enhancement for a future version of WP?
