Prince XML comes close, but is not open source.

I don't know whether or not a good WYSIWY-whatever editor exists for web pages. I have no need of one. But nothing you've written has provided a single reason for why there couldn't be one. I even asked you for a reason, and you've yet to provide one. You've simply asserted over and over that it's a fact. Anyway, CSS is a fait accompli. You're going to have resign yourself to that fact.

Aside from IE, CSS noncompliance is really not that bad... and certainly it's fine for the needs of the casual user.
