Note that not all text handling is about inserting text. Delete and
backspace are obvious exceptions. But there's also composition
characters, which should use a different rendering.
And on mobile autocorrect of misspelled words is common, though that
can probably be handled by moving the selection to the misspelled word
and then writing the fixed word.
Though one interesting edge case there is what happens if the page
adjusts the selection as it's being moved to the word autocorrect
wants to fix?
