This is a progression. Being able to use the arrow keys (and other mechanisms) to place the caret on either side of the control characters is useful for editing around them, and is also consistent with what TextEdit does on Mac OS X. I imagine it is also consistent with Microsoft Word, but I haven’t tested this.
