Re: [w3c/editing] Should we expose physical direction in Deletion commands? (for the case of RTL) (#133)

Ok, but remember that the point with the beforeinput event is that the JavaScript can implement all the DOM changes itself and not rely on the browser for any of it. That's the most important point of the beforeinput event for many editors. So if delete backward is to mean code point deletion, but the JavaScript cannot know that this was meant and additionally doesn't have a simply way to remove a codepoint, then this will be broken for all the scripts that require this. So that doesn't seem like a good idea.
