However, I think
that composition events seem enough without keyboard events during a
IME composition.

If were were designing these APIs from scratch, that might be the case. But WebKit only recently added composition events. We have been firing key events for a long time. If we stopped firing them, a lot of sites would break in WebKit browsers. So, not firing them is not an option.

We need a consensus on this issue between WebKit and Mozilla developers.

I don't think we could reasonably stop firing key events. Too many sites would break.
