'a' and 'm' are assigned to in the body of the function. Having them as arguments that aren't provided (and thus initially set to undefined) just ensures that they can be assigned to without 'var', saving

Wagtail has a similar sort of thing, inspired by Sir Trevor I think, called StreamField; it still has to have a RichTextBlock type to support inline-level formatting (bold, italic, links, etc.) Currently it's either CKEditor or TinyMCE
