This is extremely helpful. I may give it a try on an upcoming project.

Cecily told me via Twitter that exporting XHTML worked but wasn't ideal for her designer, and that pasting from Word wasn't an issue.
In my experience pasting from Word into web-based CMSes can create problems in various ways depending on expectations: (1) it can introduce junk HTML; (2) it can preserve formatting information you don't want, particularly fonts, line breaks and hyphenation; or (3) it can fail to preserve formatting information you do want such as bold, italics, bulleted lists and tables.
I briefly experimented with JumpStart and it looks like it's immune to problems (1) and (2) because it takes nothing from Word except plain text and paragraph breaks; however that makes it subject to problem (3). Correct?

Biggest downside I see: Textile input only, no HTML editing, no paste from Word. I would miss the bidirectional mapping between WYSIWIG and HTML that I've come to expect from TinyMCE, and I don't think I will ever wean my coworkers from Word. :-(
