FWIW, your editing spec defines InsertText: http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/editing/raw-file/tip/editing.html#the-inserttext-command so we could make it work with input/textarea elements. On one hand, being able to replace a part of text inside input/textarea will be a useful feature. On the other hand, I don't think it'll be efficient per se because the easiest implementation of this API is to serialize the value, string-replace, and then put it back to input/textarea. Making it work efficiently requires a bit of work (at least in WebKit). - Ryosuke
