Keep in mind that you may be able to configure you CMS to use a local 
editor on the user's browser.  This isn't a conventional cross-platform 
solution, but I think many users would have a suitable editor, and the 
minority could still have the option of hand-coding.  (I haven't used the 
feature but I believe Plone allows you to configure an editor.)
