The reason this matters is for applications that want to prepare for the
character insertions, either by saving the state, modifying the dom, or calling
preventDefault to prevent the insertion.  This works fine for all non-IME
input, but since the dom is modified before the keydown for IME, there is no
way for us to prepare for it, we only know about the input once it has already
changed the dom, at which point it is too late.  Calling preventDefault() on
the keydown should always cause the character insertion to not happen.

For what its worth, IE 7 has the same behavior as Safari 3/4 on Windows, which
is the behavior I want for Safari on Mac too.
