If "View Source" is verifiably damaging to the usability of rich text
editors then isn't it damaging to the usability of "contenteditable"
everywhere, and shouldn't it be fixed at the UA level rather than left
to individual websites to work around?

Safari and Chrome do not show the "View Source" option when you click
on "contenteditable" (or other text content).

Safari does not show "Inspect Element" either unless you enable the
"Developer" menu.
