Re: [editing] What to do with IME input when typing over a large selection? (#59)

> Now, I don't think we should make the default selection behavior to do nothing. The reason we can do nothing in other editing actions is that UAs don't typically allow editing of arbitrary text in regular non-editable parts of the page. Such is not the case with selection. UAs typically allow users to select any part of the page so disallowing that inside contentEditable=typing will be going against the norm.

I am not sure I follow you. The selection was already done before all of this (call it point 0). This is all about how to handle the situation in which a large part of content is selected already and the user starts IME composition. Are the points I listed above not clear?
