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

The user might have hit backspace continuously or an excessive number of times, just to be sure the whole cell's content is deleted, but didn't want actually to delete the table itself.

Yeah, except this still means when the user hits backspace 19 times instead of the necessary 17 their table suddenly vanished.

I suspect that reality-testing will show that we can't save us from that and providing an undo that separates "delete cell content" from "delete the table structure" is about as good as it gets. So, let's see some reality testing :)
