Not sure if you mean "effortlessly" for the computer or for the human user. I avoid wysiwig editors like the plague because they decide what needs to go and often have large amounts of javascript and images that hog RAM as they process with every letter you type.
I mean "effortlessly" for both user and implementation of mark-up. Wysiwig editors are not something I can avoid as a professional developer and they have come a long way and work quickly on todays PC's running CMS. Where would blogger be without a Wysiwig? We are in danger of going off topic here so lets get back to Web Standards.

My point regarding Wysiwig editors and CSS is that they need to be able to apply a style both as inline and at block level. This is a Standard that needs to be understood by the makers of Wysiwig editors to gain powerful formating options that many sites need. Regarding my case it looks like I will have to get a programmer to do some custom JS.

Thanks for all your help we won the deal! (Well they got themselves a bargain really with a graphical redesign). We stressed the importance of Web Standards rather than mention DDA law. When we did mention disabilities that promoted a panel member to point out that the DDA only applies to websites selling goods. We all knew that was not strictly true (employment laws and the website does provide a information "service") but did not counter the point and rather again stressed the advantages of being disabled friendly and the benefits to others when empowering Web Standards.
