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

Ok, I'm working again on this issue, trying to get some kind of consensus here (even if that doesn't imply a specific statement in the spec). From https://github.com/w3c/editing/issues/163#issuecomment-309667547 I've understood that there were some changes in the spec regarding this issue; could anybody please tell me which ones ? 

Anyway, I'll describe here current behavior using four of the main browsers with a simple case:

```
<div contenteditable>
  <div>
    before
    <table border=1>
      <tbody>
        <tr><td>1</td><td>2</td><td>3</td></tr>
      </tbody>
    </table>
    after
  </div>
</div>
```

**Case 1: Selecting content from the first cell to the last one**

<table>
<tr><td colspan="2">Firefox 59</td><td colspan="2">Edge 16</td><td colspan="2">WebKit Preview and Chrome 68</td></tr>
<tr><td><img src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2230241/39816268-0986c626-539b-11e8-93d8-87f8902775a0.png"></td><td><img src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2230241/39816267-0966eda6-539b-11e8-8196-c7d1993b7981.png"></td><td><img src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2230241/39816266-0942a126-539b-11e8-9135-33f46ffd461b.png"></td><td><img src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2230241/39816593-fde61276-539b-11e8-9dac-2523e3ac7129.png"></td><td><img src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2230241/39816105-82169662-539a-11e8-8a6f-a8720a50b465.png">
