Re: [editing-explainer] Can we use textnodes, and block/inline nodes as shadow roots for transparent IME handling? (#57)

I don't think it's a thing on Mac either (I use both Windows and Mac and I'm a native Japanese speaker).

Anyway, the idea is that we'll have a special self-closing element, let's call it "caret" for now, that has a shadow DOM. A web app uses this element is by inserting into at where the app wants the user to type in.  e.g. <b><caret/></b> will let the user type a boldened text and then the browser moves the caret, blurs the focus, etc...  it'll send some event, e.g. input event, to the app with the materialized text to insert it into the "real" DOM.

WDYT?
