Hi Glenn--

TinyMCE is the most accessible editor I've been able to find. U Toronto 
created an accessibility plug-in for it several years ago (both to make 
it accessible and to help make the html it produces more accessible), 
which has since been incorporated into the editor itself.

Speaking for the accessibility group as a whole, we would love for Sakai 
to adopt the approach you are describing for Mneme. FCK editor is 
unusable for persons using screen readers.
