[w3c/editing] CfC: Publish the "ContentEditable" draft spec as a note (Issue #479)

Hey,

this is a Call for Consensus for publishing the [document entitled "ContentEditable"](https://github.com/w3c/contentEditable) as a note and then to stop work on it following a resolution of the call on 2024-01-09 to do so.

The background for this decision is that this document was written a decade ago while we were trying to come up with a new text editing API that would work around some of the inherent problems present in contenteditable=True/execCommand that already was present in browsers at the time. These proposals are what eventually led to the [EditContext API](https://github.com/w3c/edit-context) which supersedes it and has since been implemented and shipped in Chrome and is on track to be shipped by other browser engines as well.

This does not affect the definition of `contenteditable=true`, `contenteditable=false` and `contenteditable=plaintext-only` as they can be found in the [HTML spec](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#contenteditable). Nor does it affect  `execCommand` which is described in [another unofficial draft document](https://w3c.github.io/editing/docs/execCommand/).

If you have comments or questions or you disagree with this decision, please comment on this Github issue by February 10 2025.

Best regards,

Johannes Wilm (IE, Web Editing WG Chair)
