If Moxiecode was willing to make changes to TinyMCE to improve functionality with Drupal, what improvements would you like to see?

jQuery of course!
They could use jquery engine in order to save more space, since jquery is loaded by default in drupal core.
I agree. Using jQuery would
I agree. Using jQuery would be great and could minimize a lot of work & coding overhead, but guess there would be the initial work of porting it over to use jQuery...
more up to date code out of the box
I'd like to see more up-to-date code out of the box. Nix the deprecated
<b> and <i>tags... or at least, don't have them as the default.Fix paste processing
Processing of pasted markup - need intelligent cleanup.
We have many people who keep copying / pasting Word documents and HTML that ends up looking pretty bady.
I can’t agree more!
Not only does the resulting html look bad, but TinyMCE is often unable to edit the color, size, or other properties of the resulting text.
The only workaround that I’ve found for this problem is to turn off TinyMCE before pasting from MS Word so that none of the crappy html is pasted into the textarea. And then turn TinyMCE back on. It’s obviously not ideal, but it's way better than un-editable text properties.
It would be really nice if the clean up happened automatically. After all, nobody is typing
class="MsoNormal"on purpose!- John

While working for my previous employer, another developer and I created a TinyMCE plugin that filters out MS Word junk during copy/paste (eg. class="MsoNormal", among many other things).
If you're interested in more info, please let me know.

Preinstalled language kits
This is not an important feature, but a convenient one. And it has nothing to do with the TinyMCE module, only TinyMCE itself.
To ease the installation of localized TinyMCE I think it would help if it was possible to download TinyMCE with at preinstalled language kit from Moxiecode.
If you can handle the command line it's quite easy to install a language kit, just make sure your in the right directory and unzip it. But for those using a graphic interface (at least on Mac OS X) you could end up with a situation where you have to manually put every language file in their correct folder and there's a lot of them.
