XStandard - Replacement for Built-in Editor

Just for me edification, why is that?

I of course can't speak for Kinook. But their licensing striked me the first thing, it's clearly targetted at business users, not at shareware developers.

It would mean disclosing the number of UR users (pretty valuable data).

It would mean locking in a third party control by investing a lot of time into incorporating it. Yet at some point in the future, new decisions will be made and it will be decided that now it's crucial for the xhtml editor to be incorporated for all users. Which means you either lost the development time, or lot of money because now you need to pay for hundreds more licenses.

Also imagine if every control used by Kinook had such pricing structure, what would be left for Kinook out of the UR price.

I only took it quickly, and these are just disadvantages of course, not fundamental barriers.

Clearly, as a user, I would like to have XHTML in UR as well.
