alexkeng: is doing presentation for EditContextAPI

EditContext explainer for reference - 
https://‌github.com/‌w3c/‌editing/‌blob/‌gh-pages/‌docs/‌EditContext/‌explainer.md

<smaug> Hmm, 
https://‌w3c.github.io/‌editing/‌docs/‌EditContext/‌explainer.html 
doesn't have attachEditContext

@smaug - apologies, we'll need to update it to reflect on new changes

whsieh: how does it interact with CE?

whsieh: what if it's attached to CE=true?

BoCupp: we need to think through CE=true

Biggest thing from last year is ability to attach editcontext to 
multiple elements

it allows us to leverage some of CE functionality e.g. spellcheck, 
caret, etc

essentially, attaching to CE let's us extract undesired side effects 
from CE.

whsieh: sounds like CE -disabled. As I recall there was an integration 
between CE-disabled it and Editcontext

BoCupp: they don't overlap. But we are still figuring out the details.

<Zakim> jamesn, you wanted to ask how we communicate to accessibility 
APIs that editing is available

whsieh: we need to be precise with how it works with other components

jamesn: can we have some Accessibility samples? Don't think we need 
anything new but if we do ARIA could help.

BoCupp: yep

we'll keep that in mind

@Johanees - looks similar to CE but CE-disabled seems to be about UI

Johannes: is using native selection or not a binary decision or can it 
be used interchangeably.

BoCupp: similar to CE-caret but it holds more state. We also want to 
have a separate view and be able to describe all text formatting 
information that EditContext receives. Agree that we need more precision 
of what is in/out when we attach to CE.

alexkeng to second question about native selection.

alexkeng: that should be possible

BoCupp: normally, a CE is using native selection. I think, I heard how 
do you move from one CE into another and finding correct position. We 
talked about possibility that the identity of editcontext and using dom 
order to figure out the next selection position. We could use something 
like associating different elements to be part of the same editcontext 
group.

ACTION- update the explainer with new behaviors added
