Re: [editing] Should the caret move by default, and should we define this behavior? (#58)

I think that "B" is mandatory.

This is one of the messiest parts in cE right now and a quality spec is needed so the behavior is predictable. Also, a js implementation for it would be big, so passing this responsibility to the browser would be welcome, leaving js developers with the option to override the behavior when needed.

It could go as part of "typing" (or by default whenever editing is enabled). The other options is making it an additional editing module, namely `contenteditable="caretcontrol"` (or "selectioncontrol" or "selection" or anything else... a better name is needed, surely).
