Re: [w3c/editing] inputPanelPolicy as a way to control software keyboard (#225)

Ah, so there does exist system API on iOS to show or dismiss the keyboard at arbitrary times. Ryosuke and I were more worried about the _user_ not being able to interact with UI in order to bring up the keyboard in the case where the website doesn’t call `show()`.

You’re right that this would be a site bug, but at the same time, we’re concerned that web authors may only test on devices that support a manual “show keyboard” button (e.g. Microsoft Surface), and not realize that adding only this attribute with no accompanying logic to show the keyboard will cause issues for iOS users.
