Last I checked that was broken for example in Safari/Chrome (converting the HTML inside the two merged paragraphs from <span style=""> into a mix of <font>-tags and other outdated things). To me it's fine if inputting text/backspace is being included, as long as browser makers believe they will have the time and resources to fix the actual text editing part. That to me seems to be the most broken thing about the whole thing currently. If they on the other hand say they have no time for any of this (as not having fixed bugs in this area for some years might indicate) I would be OK with them leaving the input/deletion/undo history part out. -- Johannes Wilm Fidus Writer http://www.fiduswriter.org
