Re: [w3c/editing] execCommand browser incompatibilities (#289)

> In my opinion, the statement in the intro that browsers copied the APIs "in a haphazard and imprecise fashion" is unfair to current browser implementors because they appear to have largely converged since that was written. I suggest it be removed.

This is prose written by the original author AFAIK. It was written at a time when it seemed like `execCommand` would be the future of text editing in the browser and this document was supposed to help them with that. There was a felt need to state it, because implementations differed.

I would be OK with removing the introduction entirely or changing the title to something like "historical background and context" or similar.
