adding few folks from Microsoft that previously expressed interest in these APIs. Hi Everyone, I am writing to let you know that we have couple of proposals publicized on WICG that were inspired by some of the discussions in Editing group. https://discourse.wicg.io/t/proposal-editcontext-api/3656 [http://discourse.wicg.io/uploads/default/original/2X/a/a288a739a232c851093e1609f65b40a05b3ed913.png]<https://discourse.wicg.io/t/proposal-editcontext-api/3656> [Proposal] EditContext API<https://discourse.wicg.io/t/proposal-editcontext-api/3656> EditContext API was inspired by discussions in Editing TF.

Highlight API allows web developers to style arbitrary range objects without causing DOM updates of the view. There are a number of scenarios where this would be useful, including third party spellcheck and grammar extensions, javascript implementation of find-on-page, or javascript, rendering of its own selection. Currently, browsers do not provide this functionality which forces web developers to modify DOM in order to achieve... discourse.wicg.io Would love for you to take a look at it and provide some feedback on the idea, design, etc... -Grisha Sent from Outlook<http://aka.ms/weboutlook>
