Check out http://quilljs.com -- it's a cross browser rich text editor that does provide such an api.
Granted, it doesn't yet have all the functionality of a complete word processor, but it's early days and its module system provides good extensibility. Part of what's exciting to me about it is that it's also a good chance to rethink what a word processor should provide in the context of the web, instead of simply porting what made sense when the target was printing a document to paper.
