We should consider dropping the support altogether given only Trident and WebKit support the event (I checked with Ehsan about Gecko's plan and he told me he doesn't know any plans to implement in Gecko), and there are alternatives such as input and beforeinput events.

>However it looks like only the event itself is actually supported, not its inputMethod or locale attributes. Should we leave it as it is? Maybe add the event for the speech input case but ignore the inputMethod?

That appears to be the plan to maintain the consistency although I'd argue that we should just kill the event.
