It would cause a mess in my opinion. I always CTRL+A, CTRL+C before I ap-
ply any changes. WordPress tried to 'help' with the markup and is some-
times devouring code and/or text in process. What I proposed before was
keeping a stack of versions so that one can undo, reverting to previous
states for the reason listed above.
Other concerns: some people might edit off-line or be in the midst of typ-
ing. It's too unpredictable.
