--- Comment #8 from Travis Leithead [MSFT] <travil@microsoft.com> ---
Our current disposition is not to make a change to the spec for this issue. We
reason that the sites that Firefox fixed by putting the workaround in place for
Kana mode must have needed to change anyway due to browser interoperability
over time. Also, since the time that this issue was filed, we have made some
changes that recommend not dispatching key events during composition to avoid
the general issue of giving websites intermediate key states during
composition. When IMEs do not allow an implementation to suppress the key
events, the isComposing attribute will be set which can also be used to filter
these intermediate key event states.

In this way we hope to drive more awareness of composition events and have
websites defer to those events when they need the in-between key values (rather
than trying to infer this via the key attribute.
