Earlier versions talked about specific keys, as you do below;however things like home and end keys, PageUpand PageDown, are specific to particular operating environments. So instead, responding to comments, we removed mentions of specific keys and said >> The functionality should use the normal key bindings that are used >> for those tasks on the given platform.

Here is the new text regarding flattening of child elements: >> If the text of an editable element is edited, and the element has >> child elements, the contents of the edited element must first be >> flattened. Flattening must have the same effect as the following >> procedure: extract the text content of the edited element and it's >> children, as defined in the textContent attribute of DOM Level 3 Core >> [DOM3], and assign it to the edited element's textContent attribute. Please let us know within two weeks if these changes do not resolve your comment. -- Chris Lilley mailto:chris@w3.org Chair, W3C SVG Working Group W3C Graphics Activity Lead Co-Chair, W3C Hypertext CG
