safari gets contentEditable

noticed over at surfin' safari this morning that the new (presumably for tiger) version of webcore (the engine behind apple's safari web browser) will include support for contentEditable - which means that content management systems such as say drupal can offer WYSIWYG HTML editing inside the browser on safari. (functionality that already exists in firefox/mozilla and that other browser that some people use). more good news for the next version of mac os x. :)
