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

Yes, they are all selection based. It's debatable in any case whether the table structure should be removed when deleting its content so that all the cells become empty. 

> So if you are thinking about usecases that don't invovle selected content, maybe you could present those as well?

Let's consider this case: 

```
<div contenteditable>
    <table border=1>
      <tbody>
        <tr><td>A</td></tr>
      </tbody>
    </table>
</div>
```

**Case1: Place caret after the letter "A" and hitting the backspace key**

* Chrome and Safari: The table structure gets deleted
* Firefox and Edge: The table cell gets empty, but the table structure isn't deleted.  

**Case2: Place caret before the letter "A" and hitting the delete key**

* Chrome and Safari: The table structure gets deleted
* Firefox and Edge: The table cell gets empty, but the table structure isn't deleted.
