Please take a look at http://lara0.exp.edf.fr/glazman/HTTPtool.html
What kind of markup are you planning to add ??? And does HTML really need
new elements in order to support PUT ???? I do not think so !
Once again, take a look at my HTTPtool and collect some information about
INRIA's and Grif's HTML editor, Symposia (I am beta-tester so I won't give
any clue about it).
