Re: [editing] InputEvent.targetRange in <input> (#72)

The problem is that input event fires on input/textarea/cE so it would be confusing not supporting textareas for beforeinput since they basically have the same name. Also people might want to have similar control over the selection in a textarea checking for composition, caret movement etc. If beforeinput only fires on cE elements then maybe it should be called something else.

I as an editor implementor wouldn't need it but we need to think broader than just rich text here if we are to introduce new global events.
