Re: [w3c/editing] Should deleting cell's content on a table inside a contenteditable area implies the whole table to be deleted ? (#163)

I agree on the preferred behavior.

The spec as it is has a detailed algorithm that's supposed to cover all situations. It is particularly intricate had hard to follow from a high level, and it is not clear to me that any browser is paying attention to what it says.

If browsers are indeed willing to follow that spec, then it is worth fixing and having detailed tests.

Otherwise, we need to find a different approach for specifying the things we do agree on.

Personally, I am not a fan of this kind of  programming-in-english specifications, and would prefer stating the desired outcome than the way to get there, but at the same time, this is a particularly intricate case, so maybe it is justified. Either way, we need browser buy in on the idea of specifying.

Interop is desirable, so I hope we can agree that we want a spec.
