The WYSIWYG editor in Internet Explorer (Windows only) is not part of 
an accepted browser standard.  Microsoft wrote that capability into 
their Internet Explorer for Windows.

So when you ask:

you really have it backwards.  The other browsers are more standard 
when it comes to WYSIWYG editing (or lack thereof).
