Ojan suggested in the other thread that we instead allow calling
execCommand() on Element, and have the result restricted to that
Element. That solves the global-flags problem too, and doesn't
require new attributes. So you'd do
div.execCommand("tabindent", false, "true");
or whatever. Someone could still call
document.execCommand("tabindent", false, "false"), but that would be
overridden if it was called on the editing host. I filed a bug on it:
https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=15522
Does that sound good too?

Default paragraph separators are used in a couple of other places too,
so it would be a little more work than that. But I just looked, and
it wouldn't be as bad as I thought. So this is doable if people have
any good use-cases.
