API's that help you build up your HTML in your browser without coding don't
render completely and/or don't allow input. The reason is unclear for me at
this time.

The Applications is using javascript for the input. The problem is that it is
impossible to edit your content within the API. When switching to the HTML code
and switch back to the layout view, you will notice that it tells "Even geduld
graag..." (In English: "One moment please...") If the page is opened in WebKit
without custom user-agent, no API is shown and only a plain HTML editor and
ASCII editor are shown.

The API is used by some weblogs (as in the URL) and also Hotmail (untested).

The API in the URL is the API for Gecko based browsers. There is also an API
that is build for MSIE, but that API is causing even much more problems in
WebKit. I think we need to focus on the Gecko based API, because the API is
more internet-standard compatible. A few changes would allow WebKit to work
with this API.

A reduction for this API or a reduction from such an API in English would be
greatly appreciated.

Tested with WebKit 417.9.2 and 420+. Maybe a hint for the hit list, because it
is a hard one and is used more and more on today's internet web-pages.
