Re: Algorithms for Editing Operations

Abserlutely!!!

Seriously, I think we should ask the browser to handle the things that really are clear, but wherever we find ambiguity we punt to the app.

Which is exactly what I think you propose.

I believe our goal should be to have consistent behavior that is reasonable and simple. In order to make it lightweight and easy to agree on, I think it should have very few heuristics and should instead rely on well-defined simplicity. This will result in imperfect, but consistent behavior. Frameworks and sites can implement their own complex heuristics or custom behavior using Intention Events. Thoughts?
