Re: ISSUE-155 (textinput): Consider lowercasing 'textInput' event [DOM3 Events]

Hi, David-

Thanks for your comments.

We discussed one of your issues, lowercasing 'textInput', at the DOM3 
Events telcon today [1], and we agree that it would be handy, and don't 
see much risk in changing it at this point.

I have changed this throughout the DOM3 Events spec, and you will see 
these changes reflected in the next editor's draft.

Please let us know whether or not you are satisfied with this resolution.
