 Replying to [comment:96 FolioVision]:
 > Here's my positive proposal: I'd like to see us integrate CodeMirror
 (not my first choice, I preferred ACE originally) and simultaneously
 improve the plain text editor to add the top three features for assistive
 device users.

 If your goal is to use a specific library, I would encourage you to spend
 your time ensuring that it passes the WCAG 2.0 AA standards. At that time,
 it seems like something we can consider.  Until then, you are proposing
 that WordPress should violate the standards it set for itself a little
 over a year ago (and that zero people objected to when proposed). If you
 would like to propose that the standards be different, the
