[wp-testers] CSS in WYSIWYG

[Isaac Wedin]

I'd *love* to see some hooks for TinyMCE in the plugin API. I've gotten
the images popup tool in my plugin (Photopress) to more-or-less work by
including tiny_mce_popup.js and using tinyMCE.insertimage(). I'd like to
see a simple way to add a button to the TinyMCE toolbar, and a way to
specify a CSS class for inserted images.
