[UIEvents] Firing composition events for dead keys

Hi all,

This is another feedback from multiple browser vendors (Apple, Google, Microsoft) that got together in Redmond last Thursday to discuss editing API and related events.


We found out that all major browsers (Chrome, Firefox, and Safari) fire composition events for dead keys on Mac but they don't on Windows.  I think this difference comes from the underlying platform's difference but we think we should standardize it to always fire composition events for consistent behavior across platforms.

Does anyone know of any implementation limitation to do this?  Or are there any reason we should not fire composition events for dead keys on Windows?
