Answer 1

Mozilla Labs' Bespin project currently uses their own toolkit called Thunderhead. It's written by and for the Bespin developers, but it's a separate project that could be used for anything. You will need a (free) Bespin account to try it, since there aren't any other projects that I know of that use it.

I've never used it, but I know it uses the DOM and a subset of CSS plus it's own CSS-like properties. I doubt the API is very stable though since it's experimental and evolves with the needs of the Bespin developers.
