Re: [w3c/editing] Defind deleting command/operation what should do if selection range crosses editing host boundaries (#283)

> I think that Firefox's behavior is better than Chrome for defining as standards and simpler.

How about this situation:

A.  `<div contenteditable><p>ab[c<span contenteditable="false">non-editable]</span>def</p></div>`

vs.

B.  `<div contenteditable><p>ab[c<span contenteditable="false">non-editable</span>]def</p></div>`

?

If I understood you correctly, in situation A, nothing should be deleted, whereas in situation B, the entire selection should be deleted, correct?

I don't have a strong opinion, but I think one disadvantage of doing it the way Firefox does it is that a very small difference in the selection leads to a big difference in browser behavior. The difference in selection could be so small that the user doesn't even notice and therefore gets confused about why the selected content is not deleting.
