 > New attached patch tries to use buttons.

 > There are still some issues:
 > - maybe add some "screen-reader-text" to the buttons text, or a
 describedby to give context to "Visual" and "Text"
 > - in IE (at least IE 8) when you activate the buttons, their text shifts
 1 pixel down and right, this can be fixed but it's not so easy, the only
 way I'm aware of at the moment requires as first step to give buttons a
 fixed width... definitely not good for translations (unpredictable text
 length). Some CSS-fu stronger than mine is welcome, otherwise I'd
 recommend to live with the 1 pixel shift
 > - when switching between Visual and Text editor, focus behaviour is
 inconsistent between browsers but this probably needs a separate ticket

 This patch was tested here: http://red-hound.com/trunk29764/trunk/src/
 and has real success!  Woot! Woot! afercia is right, more work is
 required, because it works but requires a specific sequence (TBD)...but
 but it WORKS!  Major thanks to afercia, Joe, Gary, avryl, nacin.

 The button concept seems to be the kernel of the solution.
