Yeah, I was aware of that API. It has been three years and EditContext hasn't been implemented in any browser still. So the intent here with `compositionborder` is to be a simple change that can be quickly added to browsers' existing Input Events implementations. It is sort of a halfway compromise, giving users a way to encapsulate/control IME text input, but without the full-fledged API overhaul and IME integration of EditContext. I also imagine Input Events will not be deprecated once (or if) EditContext is eventually widely supported. So this would still be useful for those who wish to use that API instead.
