several inputTypes for deletion backward/forward

Hey,
at the F2F in August we came up with a resolution to have just one
delete-inputType and using the data attribute to specify the direction
(backward/forward) in the input events spec [1]:

"RESOLUTION: one delete event with data for forward/backward" [2]

Now this question has come up again, in the context of the need of a way to
delete a word and a line [3].

All those who have expressed their opinion so far seem to agree that it
would be best to have editing intentions such as:

deleteForward
deleteBackward
deleteWordForward
deleteWordBackward
deleteLineForward
deleteLineBackward

and then not use the data attribute.

Is everyone ok with reverting the resolution from August?
