[webkit-dev] Supporting css ime-mode property

[Yasuo Kida]

I meant "does NOT necessary universally true". The property assumes input mode takes two states, on and off, but on some platforms it can take multiple values.

an alternative way of achieving the same thing in more predictive way:

The assumption that this property makes on the semantic of the input system of the platform does necessary universally true and it could be potentially harmful. On Mac OS X and iOS, there is no notion of disabling or enabling input method or mode. You can switch between different input modes, or you can request an input mode that is suitable for a particular purpose (e.g. ascii, email address, etc.).
