[wp-testers] CITE attribute of BLOCKQUOTE stripped by TinyMCE

[Alexander Beutl]

As I am pissed off enogh by all that WYSIWGY shit I will try myselfe on a
plugin which will change that damn editor.
Tiny is a great WYSIWYG Editor off course but all WYSIWYG sucks.

I'll try including the WYSIWYM Editor WYMeditor which is based on jQuery
which would make it the perfect choise for WordPress
http://www.wymeditor.org/en/

And for those who tick like I do I'll add markItUp! which has some really
cool features while staying in code view. It's too based on jQuery.
http://markitup.jaysalvat.com/

Both will need some additional work to be usable with WP Image stuff but
that shouldn't be such a problem.
Will anyway take a while since I have nearly zero time this and the next
week but will be worth the work. I am tired of WYSIWYG.
