I have been playing with a way to use BB-type code for those browsers/OSs that don't support the DOM/DHTML stuff, and have a rudimentary system worked out.
It currently has no menu set choices (they can only use what I give them by default), but they can use bold, italic, underline, links, and ordered/unordered lists. I also included a "remove formatting" button, a preview button and a help button to explain some of the formatting.
My editor adds true HTML code, but it could easily be modified to use bbcode. That way you could strip out the HTML they try to add and keep only what you want them to add.
It's very proprietary, but I'd be glad to share it with anyone who is looking for such a solution.

I'd be happy to try out your solution - just let me know where to find it!
