 Replying to [comment:35 jb510]:
 > By that we should then discuss eliminating many of the TinyMCE buttons
 as well as there is no reason have blockquote in a quote, or a link in a
 link.   Perhaps we should just do away with the visual editor on post
 formats and make it a standard multi-line text area?

 It was discussed. See http://make.wordpress.org/core/2013/03/15/post-
 formats-ui-update-314/, bullet point 4. I never saw anything come of any
 experimentation regarding re-initializing TinyMCE or otherwise changing
 mode/buttons before I went on leave, and as far as I know we can't have
 two textareas with the same name. Note that my "best case" scenario for
 the experiment also involved moving the Add Media button to the TinyMCE
 toolbar for certain formats.

 In fact, I would suggest generally reading that Make/Core update again (to
 everyone, not just you) to remind ourselves of where we were, how much has
 progressed, and what original intentions were. I cannot currently be
 around for any useful length of time, but my previous work stands.
