A relevant question here, I think, is where the cursor should go when
the value of the text box is set by script. For Safari5, it always goes
to the end when the value is set. For FF4.0b11, the cursor stays in
previous position when the value to be set is the same and goes to the
end when the value is different. Is this a known incompatibility? I find
the behavior of FF quite strange.

What makes sense to me is:
1. the cursor always goes to the end
2. the composition string goes with the cursor, which should not change.
But I am not sure whether this is the right way to go.
