Re: [editing-explainer] intents originating from components resp. scripts (#16)

Hmm.. I tried writing it up in the PR. Its not too much about editing as such, but more about the intent system you propose. Let me try to rephrase it:
So far, intents are described as actions that a user did resp. meant, directed from the user to a component. However, I see use cases where the originator is not the user or an assistive technology in his stead, but a component, as well as the target could be the user or another component.
Examples would be (push) notifications originating from the backend, or interactions between components such as a listbox of locations and a map.

I think a common method of abstraction would help decoupling the components and the proposed intents seem to be a very fitting candidate IMHO.
