I suggest that you read the first paragraph that you have quoted again,
especially:

| Once designMode has been set to "On", the document becomes a rich-text
| editing area [...]

Anyway, what is the content of div#foo (an individual element) in the
following example:

  <div id="foo">
    <div id="bar">
      blah
    </div>
  </div>

So you are arguing that, for instance,
<http://www.tinymce.com/tryit/basic.php> doesn't allow rich-text editing?
