--- Comment #15 from Darin Adler <darin at apple.com> ---
If we’re trying to do the equivalent of typing, then we should be using code from the editing machinery. Besides handling spaces correctly, that will make things like undo work.

For example, when someone uses QuickType or an input method to type a sequence of characters all at once, that’s not done by directly mutating the DOM.

I only have a moment to write this comment, so I can’t point at exactly the right code to use but most of the relevant code is in the editing directory. Looking at execCommand can also be helpful.
