I created a WYSIWYG editor for an email campaign manager just 3 years ago, and you're right. Even today something as reduced as a basic Excel-like editor is non-trivial. You frankly can not rely on Content Editable and have to do nearly everything from scratch to get the desired results at scale. For good or for ill at least one learns quite a lot about the hairiness of table layout...
