I don’t think I’d say they’re out of scope, just that they will likely not be ready as quickly as we could do contentEditable=’minimal’. Do you agree with that?

Yes we need to define this default functionality. What does everyone think about this?

I think we should still think of this as a path to a full story that includes Intention events. Are you saying that ultimately we would have something like this?

<div cursor=”true” commandEvents=”true”>minimally editable content</div>

Like all other content, this would also get drag/drop, clipboard, and selection events. We would need 3 specs for this- Selection API, minimal editing (cursor-only editing?), and CommandEvent.
