> +            WYSIWYG markdown editors provide a canonical example. While markdown editors typically support bold or italicized text, they often don't support font color or font family customization. System or browser UI elements like those shown for iOS or the Mac Touch Bar below don't have any indication as to which formatting commands are applicable to a particular contenteditable element and should be displayed, and which ones should be disabled or omitted.

@marcoscaceres You mean a way to turn all off and then turn individual ones on again? We have gone back and forth between blacklisting and whitelisting on this. Browser makers generally prefer blacklisting and content authors generally prefer whitelisting. Browser makers are on the long end of the stick, so we went with blacklisting but with the addition that one can query which items are available, so that with a few lines of JavaScript one should effectively be able to implement whitelisting anyway. 

This querying mechanism seems to have been removed with this PR and there is a tuicket here about bringing it back: https://github.com/w3c/editing/issues/252
