Using A Text Editor

Many experienced Web authors / software developers may use a text editor in preference to a HTML authoring tool (I use HTML-kit)

This should be more usable these days (just create simple HTML elements, and leave formatting to a CSS file)

But:

  • Isn't it too difficult to maintain ids for cell elements in complex tables
  • Isn't it worse to get ids wrong than not have them?

Should the WAI guidelines be explicit on this point?

How will users of text editors react?
