Though that section is pretty much copied from MDN, and it even contains less info than the MDN entry for 'ime-mode'.

Having said that, I just want to mention that I sent a review of this property to www-style[1]. Just in case anyone is interested in sending comments. I'll note that this is probably the first mail ever about 'ime-mode' on www-style. So sad.

I read previous discussions on webkit-dev about this property[2] and it seems that there are two potential actionable items for WebKit people:

* Say WebKit's is never going to implement 'ime-mode' and ask if Firefox and IE would drop it, or ask the editor to either drop this from css3-ui or postpone to the next level.
* Ask the editor to add a sentence in the description of 'disabled': "UAs SHOULD/MAY treat this value as 'inactive'". Whether that's a SHOULD or MAY is going to be debatable and I have no opinion because I don't know the use cases of this property (yet).

In any case, I can't speak for WebKit people so feel free to raise some discussions there!
