So I have to ask... Why are events _before_ the edit needed? If we add these, then you have to define what happens when those event handlers modify the state of the DOM in arbitrary ways, including carrying out operations that spin the event loop, operations that make the edit that's about to happen nonsensical, and so forth. It's a huge chunk of spec and implementation complexity. So I'd like to see some very compelling use cases to even consider it. -Boris
