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

I don't buy the argument that the difference in selection behavior is what forced editors to override the default behavior.  Gmail, for example, doesn't override selection/caret behavior as far as I can tell.  What they override is undo/redo and other editing actions such as bolding of text.

Anyway, we need to come up with a list of concrete use cases (e.g. building a collaborative editor) and associated requirements in order to talk about this.  It's not really productive to talk about what we need to do without understanding what problem we're solving.
