Re: [editing-explainer] ContentEditable with UserSelect=None needs to be documented (#20)

@kojiishi As it is now, arrow keys and clicking in the editable area are handled and defined. There may be cases I have not thought about, but it should be better defined then what is the case currently. However, I am not opposed to removing the handling, if that makes things clearer. Any JS editor would likely need to do normalization of caret placement before inserting or deleting anything anyway.

As for the user intentions: It seems they are all captured in the beforeInput event. There is nothing there yet for arrow keys, but we can add those.
