[Bug 23910] What's the good .key value while IME is open?

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=23910

--- Comment #7 from Travis Leithead [MSFT] <travil@microsoft.com> ---
Per our latest Telco, there doesn't seem to be agreement that the proposal made
above is worthwhile, since the key events _should_ be suppressed during
composition.

>> <garykac> I'm not sure what the advantage is of sending IMEKey during composition - they keyup/down events don't seem useful at that point. We recommend suppressing these events why not just require suppressing these events rather than saying that you may generate (useless) IMEKey events?

It seems that if we suppress the key events, then the issues found with
KanaMode are far less impactful (as the key events themselves wouldn't be
dispatched to the web page).

We also have .isComposing to help offer the clue that a composition is in
progress. Perhaps just letting KanaMode have this particular behavior (as well
as other affected languages is the right thing to do (and not attempt to
special-case this in the spec).
