Hi, Ojan- I wanted to close the loop with you on this issue. I appreciate your use case and your reasoning for it, but feedback from other implementers seemed to favor keeping the 'textinput' event as a text-only notification, rather than expanding it to other types of content. For DOM3 Events, we have chosen to stay with the 'textinput' event, as it was defined. I still see the merits in your proposal, and I believe that it might be particularly useful in the context of the proposed HTML Editing API spec [1], which is being discussed in a dedicated Community Group [2]; the 'beforeinput' event may or may not be suitable for that spec (I've only skimmed it), but I think it could be defined to suit the functionality defined there. I'm happy to help with that, and in finding it a good home. Please let us know if you are satisfied with this response; we will assume this issue is closed if we don't hear from you in a couple of weeks.
