Bug ID: 27063
Summary: Add "intention" integration point to 'beforeinput'
event's interface
Product: WebAppsWG
Version: unspecified
Hardware: PC
OS: Windows NT
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: DOM3 Events

In http://w3c.github.io/editing-explainer/commands-explainer.html,
there is a desire to unify the various editing/input scenarios behind
intentions. beforeinput is one on their radar (along with beforeselectionchange
(Selection API spec), and clipboard events). IndieUI is also invested here.
The ask is to give beforeinput a 'intention' (DOMString) property. They also
want to unify on a way to present the 'data' (currently included in InputEvent
as 'data' :-).
In addition, there are various ideas on how to further express this. One
approach is to provide a Range (the about-to-be-affected content), and the
expected thing that will replace it.
It is unclear whether we would spec this, or they would spec it. If we do it,
we should follow the intention explainer.
