So the image [1] now shows that execCommand (lower right) would cause the browser to actually perform the command, not fire a CommandEvent. In effect, execCommand('bold') is the default behavior for CommandEvent type bold in contentEditable="true". In contentEditable="minimal" or equivalent, CommandEvent type bold has no default. If a site wishes to use the built-in bold, they can call execCommand('bold') in the CommandEvent, thereby restoring contentEditable="true" behavior for that specific command.

Agreed. Better use cases and goals is my next project. Expect an update soon.
