That's pretty much what It's All Text does for you.  When active, it
presents a little (edit) button at the edge of the current <textarea>
widget.  Click it and it fires up the editor you've configured.  That can be
as plain (think "xterm ed") or fancy (think vim, X/Emacs or other editor
with all the syntax highlighting they bring to the table) as you like.

Alas, IAT only works with Firefox.  It would be nice in my opinion if all
browsers generally supported external editors.
