Re: [w3ctag/design-reviews] EditContext API (#416)

@plinss I think it's because the OS text input services only understand plain text. When interacting with IMEs, browsers serialize the DOM into plain text view and send it to the IMEs via system APIs provided by the OS text input services. EditContext is a web API that lets authors have control over what part of the content to serialize and when to communicate that to the IMEs. This model is described [here ](https://github.com/alexkeng/editing/blob/gh-pages/docs/EditContext/explainer.md#difference-between-contenteditable-element-and-the-editcontext-element)in the explainer.
