The DOM was always a WYSIWYG editor – albeit, for HTML, not text. Though, back in the day, HTML was a subset of text with image and table support; none of this fancy `line-height: 1.5em;`… I wish the web had evolved in a more documenty way.

Hmmm... maybe I should have chosen a different acronym. What you expected to see isn't alwasy what you got. WYETSIAWYG Rendering across browsers and operating systems was a trainwreck until maybe 5 years ago (over a decade of polyfill is finally gone). And even with an ecosystem like ElectronJS + Bootstrap, Win10 MacOS and Linux all look slightly different. So yes and no to "DOM was always...", but more "No."
