I'm currently trying to integrate a WYSIWYG editor inside the ZMI.
You can have a preview at:

I'm using the following Zope products:
http://www.zope.org/Members/arvid/IEDocument
http://www.zope.org/Members/sf/HTMLDocument
http://vsbabu.org/webdev/zopedev/ieeditor.html

I only concentrate on IE only editors (because it's only used for
an intranet). They seem to be, based on either:
- Microsoft DHTML Editing control (not longer supported by MS),
- MSHTML (I didn't get HTML tables to work with it)

More references on Microsoft editors:

- http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/browser/editing/mshtmleditor.asp 

There seem to be a lot of inititatives to create new editors, but I
didn't find the ideal WYSIWYG editor yet.

Hope this helps,

Pieter
