Google Docs uses canvas, yeah, and last I looked it used an empty contentEditable just to receive [rich text] input. I do think you could use this to write a document editor like Docs and side-step many of the problems with contentEditable, but I haven't tried to.

Every time someone releases a new rich text editor I'm disappointed to find that it uses contentEdtiable. Would be very interesting!
