In practice, it would require extensive changes to the editing spec and a lot of careful thinking, and no one is really working on editing implementations anyway. Gecko's editor code is in maintenance mode, I haven't received a single piece of feedback ever about editing from IE or Opera people, and WebKit is the one that already implements the feature, so I don't see the effort as being worth the time spent right now. (I did receive feedback from Opera about selection, but not editing as far as I remember.) The same goes for any other proposed editing spec features. When I see people actually implementing the existing spec, that's when it will make sense for me to spend more of my time adding more stuff to it. Until then, I might fix bugs, but that's it.
