As someone interested in exploring this area -- specifically writing a very thin input highlighter/wysiwyg-lite thing -- i keep hearing about war stories but i'm curious how much people have discussed it, talked about it, etc.

Are there any documented best-practices for writing your own? (aside from "don't" hah)

I get that common wisdom says it is kind of insane, but i'd like to learn why, concretely. It's possible a fraction of what i want is not the "hard part", so i feel compelled to at least explore it.
