Decent online web page editor?

Is there a decent, online web editor?

I'd like to be able to create a web page once in a while without having to install MS Expression Web or Dreamweaver. However, I'm having trouble finding a decent online XHTML / CSS web page editor.

I've tried CKEditor, but the code is formatted strangely, and it doesn't use CSS. Google Sites is okay; it uses inline CSS, but is a little sparse on the formatting options.

I'm looking for one that:
- Creates XHTML-compliant pages (transient is fine)
- Uses CSS, either in a separate file or inline at the head of the page
- Encourages cross-browser tags and fonts, e.g. "Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif" vs. "Verdana" (which is Windows-only)
- Creates clean code

Firebug ? And I only throw this out because I read about it on Lifehacker the other day (and I am not a web developer kind of person, so I have no real knowledge if it does what you want) and it was getting high praise.

A friend turned me on to Coffee Cup but it's not an online editor, it's one you have to download. I've been pretty happy with it so far.
