Sometimes when I'm doing heavy editing it's easier to copy the contents of the edit or raw view and paste into a text editor such as emacs. It's a bit of a pain in the butt to have to select the whole text in the text area, so how about we add a button to do it to the default raw and edit templates? The following JavaScript fragment does the business:

<input type=button value="Select All Text" onClick="javascript:document.main.text.focus();document.main.text.select();">

It works on Konqueror and IE, but I can't speak for other browsers.
