Hi, after I was involved in the IME event level debate, I was asked to formulate my opinion on where I think things should evolve instead, based on my experience with Android IME. Here is my position paper on that, which I've already passed around to other Chromium-team members and incorporated their feedback: https://docs.google.com/document/d/10qltJUVg1-Rlnbjc6RH8WnngpJptMEj-tyrvIZBPSfY/edit It's a new approach involving hidden textareas which I believe avoids the pitfalls of previous variants of that idea. More importantly, each of the individual standardization items should be small, uncontroversial and compatible with other visions -- because I don't expect or want to force everyone to hidden textareas. Basically, it's a way of framing small practical subprojects in a way that they appear as incremental steps towards eventually enabling a full Office-style text editor. One more note: I'll be leaving Chromium-team at the end of this month so I unfortunately won't be able to defend the position at TPAC. Chromium-team editing folks have mostly been positive about this roadmap, but are still overall debating how and how much to invest in editing, so I'm putting this paper out there as a starting point for future discussion that I won't be involved in.
