I'm doing a final project on the future of webdesign and the increased use of the CMS, now that its widespread enough for clients to request this kind of functionality as standard - I think theres a fair bit of work to be done on finding the balance between design and editability (?) and perhaps re-education of the client regarding just how much they should be able to edit - understanding that the design of content itself is just as important as its container is probably the first step.

So any online articles would be great, or peoples thoughts for that matter. Lessons learned from bitter experience?

Regarding the nightmare of WYSIWYG editors, this is worth a read: Evaluation of WYSIWYG editors (2007)- Standards Schmandards
