meeting of Editing Taskforce, 2017-02-14

We had a one hour long meeting on February 14th of the Editing taskforce
(1800h, Zagreb time).

Summary:

* We agree on making two levels of the Input Events spec:
- level 2 is the current spec draft
- level 1 consists of the parts of the spec that Chrome team will ship.
Some beforeinput events related to IME will be missing and some beforeinput
events that level 2 requires to be cancelable, will not be required to be
cancelable.
- Chrome team will create a pull requests to the current spec with their
changes applied to create level 1 of the spec.
- Webkit will most likely skip version 1 and directly ship level 2.
- Chrome doesn't commit to shipping level 2.
- Any editor created for level 1 will also work in browser implementing
level 2.
- Johannes: JavaScript developers have indicated that level 2 is useful.
Formatting works the same in level 1 and 2 and will also be useful.
Non-cancelable parts of level 1 do not seem useful, but one never knows -
it's always possible they can be used for something developers aren't
thinking of right now and given that Google cannot be stopped from shipping
it like this, it's better to have it in a spec.


* inputType related to touchbar (
https://github.com/w3c/input-events/issues/44 ):
- Safari devs will come up with different (single) inputType-name for
turning unordered/ordered list into paragraph, and an inputtype for "same
right-left margin" justification.
- Turning a bullet list into a numbered list will be two subsequent events:
first turn it into paragraph, then into a numbered list. Same principle the
opposite direction.


* Next meeting:
- March 14th, same time (18 Madrid, 10AM Pacific) Notice: We said "same
time", the time in San Francisco will have to be different if we have the
same time in Madrid. Does this change tuings for anyone?
