The point of Amaya to me wasn't so much WYSIWYG HTML -- where "HTML" should probably be in scare quotes in most instances of such things. It was an actual SGML editor, respecting the DTD (like Emacs PSGML in that regard). I don't remember to what extent it was -- or could have been -- a general SGML editor with arbitrary DTDs. I also used it as a browser at one stage, but it was rather unstable then.

I remember that there was a general SGML editor called Thot (from INRIA) that it was built on. I was interested in generic SGML/XML editors at the time.

Aside from that, I think that Amaya was also used to provide a sample implementation of new/proposed web technologies. It's been a long time though and my memory is fuzzy.

Ah, yes; it was a long time ago -- and a somewhat simpler time. Plenty of good stuff comes from INRIA.
