Re: [w3c/editing] Contenteditable re-creating deleted children when it shouldn't (Issue #468)

Hmm, prohibiting it breaks the traditional behavior. Empty inline elements are not visible for users. Therefore, for avoiding unnecessary inline empty elements to stay, builtin editors need to clean it up as soon as possible. (E.g., if empty inline elements are stay, they need to be cleaned up when `blur`, etc.

Firefox supports `document.execCommand("removeFormat")` to clear the pending (cached) styles, but it seems that Chrome does not support (I'm not sure Safari, I cannot check it right now). It might be reasonable to add a new API to clear or disable caching inline styles. (`document.execCommand("removeFormat")` forcibly forgets current style at caret too.)
