Re: [editing] What do we need to integrate with the clipboard api? (#64)

> If we allow execCommand() to work against CE=events

As I understand it, this will only be those operations that **do not** require an editing host (and editing host in the classic sense, we have now also changed the name of the CE=events container to include the term "editing host", but it shouldn't be an editing host for execCommand). And we only do it because otherwise we have no access at all to adding new items to the clipboard. So in those cases execCommand will treat CE=events as if it was any other, non-editable element.

> `execCommand()` is likely to change the selection

I have a feeling that changes to the selection for no good reason will be problematic for those who protested against these normalizations of the selection. But I cannot recall which of the editor people saw the normalization of selections as problematic. Was it one of you: @spocke,  @teleclimber or @fredck?
