The intention of this change is that web developers ought to be able to a) see
what change a keyboard event is about to make and b) cancel it. The IE7
behavior affords this.

Firefox WIN/MAC modify the DOM after the keydown event as well. Canceling the
event only seems to prevent text insertion on Windows Firefox though.

So, in terms of web compatibility, it seems clear that the IE/FF-Win model is
best.

Is there somewhere I should look to get a better sense of why the current
behavior is correct? What is different about the Mac IM behavior that make the
current behavior correct?
