Where is "design mode" turned on and off? So if I understand correctly ...
taking the Mozilla renderer out of design mode turns off the propogation of
nsISelectionController events?

This sounds right, but if I can't execute javascript at all, I guess it
doesn't matter? =)

Very true.. Our problem is that the appcelerator platform uses javascript
code to render widgets.. it's sounding more and more like it would be better
to try and approach this using Rhino. I'd still like to fiddle with the
design mode to see what I can accomplish though, any pointers to source
code?
