I haven't followed the thread with great care so I may have overlooked 
a reference to 'bluefish'. 
<http://bluefish.openoffice.nl/features.html>

I haven't used it in quite a spell so this isn't a 'recommendation', 
just a reference to a tool which might be of use.

it is not, I think, wysiwyg as such but it will open your browser for 
inspection of results. (looking at the website it seems it may open 
your page within bluefish but I'm skimming too fast to be sure.)

see what you think.

(apologies if this has already been considered.)
