--- Comment #3 from Gary Kacmarcik <[email protected]> ---
(1) is the model that we have been using for all our key/IME discussions so
far: the key event is sent to the webapp and then the IME

If the key event is cancelled, the browser is supposed to make a best-effort to
cancel the IME, but the spec is written to allow the case where the IME cannot
be cancelled.

Bug 23910 describes a "fix" to workaround bugs in poorly-written websites. The
fix seems a bit hackish to me (and it only partially addresses the bug). While
it seems OK to write the spec to allow this workaround, it seems very wrong to
use this situation to drive larger spec decisions.
