Hi there,

I am wondering if the contenteditable attribute is enough and
we don't also need a way to say placing the selection "inside"
an element should activate caret's visibility. A boolean attribute à la
"caretvisible" would help a lot web sites that just cannot rely on
contenteditable because of the implementations differences, and
engine embedders willing to reimplement an editor ontop of a static
rendering engine.
