> That's exactly the problem. The detail is that we're talking about a "collapsed" selection. I mean, just have the caret blinking inside the editor, hit CTRL+B for Bold (bug: nothing is happening at this point) and type some text. There will be no style applied.

Could you call document.execCommand('bold', false, null) instead of manually adding bold?  We have typing style internally, and bold should be preserved when user starts typing.  I bet other browsers would support this as well.

We also have applyStyle command internally, which allows you to apply arbitrary CSS style on the selected region.  It's used by bold, italic, etc... as well as for style preservation.  We could expose either if that'll benefit you and other web developers.
