In a sense that goes to the heart of the undertaking.  Does it hope
merely to make it possible for users who have already committed to
Emacs to carry out an incrementally larger portion of their authoring
activities within that familiar environment?  Or does it hope to attract
users for whom WYSIWYG editing represents a more dominant portion
of their authoring activities?

The former is merely some subset of the Emacs community scratching
an itch.  The latter would represent a strategic initiative.
