I had some help, and tested the Japanese IME on Microsoft Windows 7 machine
running IE9 (which supports these composition events as speced). 

The IME application will be running and enabled down in the notifiation area.
If I do nothing with the composition events as they fire, my first keystroke in
an edit area will start a composition (underlining the text as it's not yet
been fully composed).

When I cancel the compositionstart event, the behavior I see is that no text is
entered into the edit control when I type. The compositionend event will fire
immediately after the composition start signalling that the composition was
terminated. 

This behavior seems in line with the spec, so I'm not sure that what the spec
says is impossible to implement.

However, it's very possible that I have some bad terminology in the spec. So,
without changing the cancelable nature of compositionstart, how would you
suggest this be better phrased?
