Knol is more like About.com (http://www.about.com/; alexa 67 (data@july 2011) or http://www.ehow.com/ (alexa 127 (data@july 2011)) than Wikipedia.
It 's also not an equivalent of http://www.archive.org/index.php (alexa 206 (data@july 2011)) which corresponds to the classic encyclopedia format (see also other internet archive projetcs: http://www.archive.org/projects/).
Knol has an anarchy model:

A brief analysis of the knol rich text editor:
The menu is still at the same place
it is very useful if your post is very long (not the case for blogger)The menu of the knol editor:
Save (first item (left))
Format (5nd item): far better
(H2, H3 and H4 levels) system is very useful with the automatic outline function of knol.
Links (11nd item)
the same function/design of bloggerInsert (12nd item): GOOD
- image (blogger is better with an upload of many files)
the management of the position of the image is the same - Equation (i hope this service will be in blogger)
