*googles on SubEthaEdit* Now that's interesting.. Now I want Emacs to
that too.. ;) (actually it does, in a more basic version. One can open
a frame on anothers display.)

Of more general use would be the merging capabilities of
CVS/Subversion, but presenting that in the best possible way is
tricky.

Speaking of the humble textfield, there's alternatives:

But what I really want is a widget that'll look WYSIWYG, but will hand
back custom structured data of some sort.
