Re: [w3c/editing] Different browser behaviors when moving the caret by one word. (#278)

Correct me if I've misunderstood, but I think what you're saying @masayuki-nakano and @rniwa is that we generally want to mirror a **platform's convention**, but that ‘platform’ in this case refers to the **underlying OS** and not the browser. That is to say that we expect Firefox, Chrome, and Safari to behave the same way, and furthermore we expect them to behave like the underlying OS (eg. Mac OS, Windows, or Linux).

If we agree on that, then we can also agree that that's not the situation today :) If you consider _just_ Mac OS, you'll see that word segmentation behavior is different in [Safari](https://twitter.com/steveluscher/status/1354516408760115200) than it is in [Chrome](https://twitter.com/steveluscher/status/1354516418142691329) than it is in [Firefox](https://twitter.com/steveluscher/status/1354516427609313283). This affects all move by word (Option-Left/RightArrow), delete by word (Option-Delete and Fn-Option-Delete), and double-click-to-select-word operations.
